Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In modern urban environments, the efficiency of public transportation systems plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable mobility and reducing traffic congestion. Among various public transport services, bus systems remain the most flexible and widely used mode of transit. However, growing travel demand and increasing road traffic intensity often lead to delays, decreased service reliability, and reduced passenger satisfaction. One effective solution to these challenges is the implementation of express bus services, which offer limited-stop operations aimed at reducing travel time and improving overall system efficiency. This study focuses on the development of an algorithm for determining the rational parameters of the express mode of bus traffic in urban areas. The proposed approach considers factors such as passenger flow distribution, traffic conditions, and operational constraints to identify optimal solutions that enhance service performance and passenger convenience. The results are expected to contribute to the improvement of urban public transport systems by providing a methodological framework for efficient express service planning and management.
