Abstract

This paper considers a statistical model of passenger flows between bus stops. By assumption, the intensities of incoming and outcoming passenger flows are known. We propose an estimation technique for the distribution of incoming passengers at a certain bus stop with respect to all successive bus stops. The simulation results based on natural experiments are also presented.
