Abstract
This paper presents the development of the Computerized Bangkok Bus Transit Analytical System, BBTAS, to enhance the performance evaluation of the existing bus system in Bangkok. The bus performance indicators are classified into three performance measurement groups and each group was broken down into the performance class and sub-class. The weights of each performance class and sub-class were conducted mathematically to describe the bus operating performance level. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied for weighing the bus performance class and sub-class. Finally, the user gracious computerized BBTAS package was developed to evaluate the performances of all bus routes in Bangkok. To demonstrate the real world application of this developed system, this paper used the bus operating data of 88 non- air-conditioned bus routes in Bangkok to evaluate their performances. Considering all mentioned performance indicators, this developed system can rank all 88 routes from the best to the worst.
