This thesis contributes to development of the trans-disciplinary field of Transport Analytics, which aims to facilitate a sustainable customer-centric approach to transport service delivery through continuously measuring and optimising transport operations and through better targeting of customer preferences and needs.

Examine transit’s four aspects of customer perception, operational efficiency, customer values, and customer aligned key performance indicators — with a focus on measuring, stabilising, and reducing end-to-end running times and running time variability — to facilitate the service partners’ continuous improvement cycles, in order to deliver accessib...
This document contains a review of Transport Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used
by the State of New South Wales (NSW), primarily for the railway and bus operations.
This document is primarily a broad descriptive work — with some basic interpretive
features — to support the comparison & contrasting of the discovered KPIs; and to
facilitate consi...
This paper examines empirical data from public bus operations in Sydney, to assess if the mean end to end runtime, and its standard deviation, are useful measurements to monitor the reliability and efficiency of the services delivered. This paper shows that the mean plus two standard deviations for end-to-end runtimes was an effective estimator of...
This document introduces the review to support the author’s second Candidature Assessment for the doctoral research currently titled: Enhancing Interpretive Models of Operational Efficiency using Measurements Derived from Big Data to develop Collaborative Multi-Modal Customer-Centric Key Performance Indicators for Transport
This document outlines...
Metropolitan railway transport planning requires the empirical analysis of patronage across the week and its trends across time to determine the capacity needed to meet (and ideally stimulate) demand. This paper addresses the methodological issues in determining the typical weeks from 2020-23 the weeks to use for analysing patronage in NSW (includi...

This paper examines philosophical frameworks of public transport service delivery-the Strategic Triangle and Service Quality Loop. The first considers the context of a public sector organisation appropriating resource and the second considers how public transport service partners could provide services that passengers perceive to be high quality. T...

Patronage on the Inner West Light Rail is exceeding the forecastsdeveloped for the design of the Dulwich Hill extension. UTS has been working with students, Transdev and TFNSWto examine options to increase service delivery using the existing assets to cope with thisincreased demand.In 2018, UTS completed a research program to determine how saving f...
This paper examines the impact of runtime variability on the ability of an operator to maintain on-time running and deliver the service promised to customers. Transport for New South Wales (NSW) published collected observations on operations of buses in NSW. From these observation the inbound running times from the 333-routetravelling from North Bo...
