Open Tools for Analysis of Elements Related to Public Transport Performance. Case Study: Tram Network in Bucharest

The present paper aims to be useful for public transport operators and municipalities, as it should enable them to make decisions and to optimize public transport schedules during peak hours. In this study, we outline the data and the means necessary for the creation and use of a specific database f...
