Discrepancies
in
Median
vs.

during
8:00~8:30
Type A: Both median and LST method find congestion
There are 7 spots where both methods find congestion during 8:00~8:30am.
These 7 locations are labeled in yellow in figure 1.
Figure 1: Both Find Congestion
For location 2 ~ 7 locations, convincing explanations are found to believe that
these locations are congested during 8:00am ~8:30am. As for location 1, it might
3 / 32
Nov.21 Jinguo and Cheng
be congested during 8:00~8:30am because of some detour traffics trying to
avoid heavier congestion at a nearby intersection.
Type B: Only median method finds congestion
There are really only 2 spots where the median method finds congestion but no
congestion is indicated by the LST method at nearby locations. These spots are
location 8 and location 9 as labeled in figure 2. Location 8 is close to a bus stop.
Moreover, the speed distribution at location 8 shows bimodality, which cannot be
explained by our knowledge of the system. Location 9 is about 150 meters away
from an upstream major intersection. There is a right turn entering a parking lot.
4 / 32
Nov.21 Jinguo and Cheng
But no congestion is expected at this location during this time period. A possible
explanation of the decrease in the median speed might be related to driver
behavior.
Therefore, for the two spots where only the median method indicates congestion,
there is no convincing reason to believe that there is congestion.

For location 9 , what fraction would it be to find indication of congestion
by the LST method.
At location 9 in figure 2. The original low speed threshold is 5. 6336. By changing the threshold to 6.7344 or changing the fraction from 0.35 to 0.41839. We obtain a p-value of 0. 09. By changing the threshold to 6.8406 or changing the fraction from 0.35 to 0.425. We obtain a p-value of 0. 0473. 8150-8-45-1778 1 0.9 0.8 0.7

but
not

nonparametric method.
There are 4 interesting locations where the LST method finds indication of
congestion but not the median method (both applicable and not applicalbe )
during 8:00~8:30am.
The indications of congestion at location 10 can be explained by the construction
on the dridge. The indications of congestion at location 11 can be explained by
left turn traffics entering a parking lot.

Lobation 12 and 13 are around intersection with Kenny Rd. on Woody Hayes Dr.. Location 12 is east bound, and location 13 is west bound..
LST method finds
indication of congestion, but median method is not applicable in both location 12 and 13. But we do expect congetion in these two locations.

Disappearance of indication of congestion over time.
The locations where congestion is indicated during 8:00~8:30 within the 4 red
frames in figure 4 disappear during 9:00~9:30. This is consistent with our
knowledge of the CABS system.

the nonparametric method finds congestion but not the LST method.

The bus slowing down in the early morning story?
It can be found that, at some locations, the speeds obtained during
7:00am~7:30am are pretty high, which does not seem to be a good indication
of congestion. Nevertheless, there does exist a significant decrease in the
mean or median speed during time intervals 7:00am~7:30am. This decrease
in the mean or median speed is probably caused by the fixed bus schedule as
explained in the following paragraph.
26 / 32
Nov.21 Jinguo and Cheng
Let locations where recurrent congestions occur during peak hours be type C
locations. Let locations where recurrent congestions never occur be type D
locations. Usually, bus schedules are set by taking into account higher
demands of passengers and lower speeds at some locations (usually type C
locations) during peak hours. During 7:00am~7:30am, the campus is nowhere
congested and the passenger demand is relatively low. Therefore, the buses
tend to get overhead the schedule when there are very few passenger
demands and very few traffic demands. As a result, buses may travel at a
relatively slow speed at some locations in order to avoid going overhead the
schedule. Especially for type D locations, during peak hours, buses are more
27 / 32
Nov.21 Jinguo and Cheng
likely to drive faster and more aggressively in order to catch up the schedule.
Therefore, when the buses are not driving as aggressive as they do during
peak hours, there would be a decrease in the speeds. Case B1 occurs at one
of the type D locations and the time intervals 7:00am~8:00am and
7:00am~7:30am are not peak hours.

From figure 6 in the following page, it can be found that there are 4 type A locations labeled in yellow, i.e. both find congestion. Congestions at Location 2, 3, and 4 are explainable. As for location 1, similar to the case in comparing the
30 / 32
Nov.21 Jinguo and Cheng
median method to the LST method, cut through traffics might explain the congestion.
Type B location labeled in green indicates only the ANOVA method finds congestion. However, it is clear that location 5 in green is very close to location 4 in yellow where both find congestion.
Type C location labeled in light blue are locations only the LST finds congestion. Location 6 in light blue is explained by the entrance to a parking lot as in the case for comparing the median method to the LST method. Location 7 in light blue is similar to location 1 in green. They are very close to location 4 in yellow.
