چکیده مقاله:
Temporal coordination of services, as a crucial aspect of integration in transit systems, has always been a big concern for public transport planners. A major problem in the way ofcoordinating transit timetables is the lack of a robust measure for assessing the quality of temporal coordination of services, particularly in the absence of transfer counts. This paperaims to present a practical method for quantifying the temporal coordination in publictransport systems. After evaluating the timetable coordination indices proposed in the literature, a quantitative index is mathematically developed based on the waiting timeimposed on transferring passengers. A numerical example is also presented to reveal theapplicability of the proposed index. This index can be reliably used as a measure of effectiveness for assessing the impacts of different timetabling strategies on temporal integration of transit systems
