Current FSUTMS model uses a set of highway-transit speed curves based on facility type and area type to model the relationship between highway speed and transit speed. The drawbacks of this method include that there is considerable vagueness in the definition of area types and that transit boarding and alighting activities not considered in estimating transit travel time. Dwell time at a bus stop is one of the major components of bus travel time and is highly correlated with the number of boarding and alighting passengers. With more resources from federal, state, and local governments devoted to the improvement of public transit services, transit ridership is expected to increase. Consequently, dwell time at a bus stop needs to be modeled in terms of ridership to allow bus travel time to be accurately estimated.
