Developing good practice outcomes in passenger transport: strategic policy and practical implementation
Volume Editors: Dr Chinh Ho and Professor Corinne Mulley, The University of Sydney, Australia
This special issue will focus on the development of good practices in passenger transport across all modes of travel (including bus, bus rapid transit, train, tram, ferry, car-share, bicycle-share, taxi and airplane) and all types of route (fixed and flexible) in different spatial settings.
Papers will be sought that address the development of good practice outcomes that have, as their centre of attention, (i) clear links to strategic policy (ii) practical implications as well as lessons for Business and Management. Papers which demonstrate successful outcomes and plans in progress are welcome. Papers more specifically in the following areas would be especially welcome:
* Methodologies that drive good practice (e.g. benchmarking, balanced score card)
* Measurement of business activity (e.g. what makes a good Key Performance Indicator or KPI)
* KPIs and their contribution to good practice operation (e.g. minimum level of service, passenger growth, spare capacity requirements)
* Links between methodologies driving good practice and operational contract development.
Abstracts of a maximum of 250 words should be submitted to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> no later than 30/04/2015.
Notification of an accepted abstract will be by 15/05/2015 with a submission deadline for full papers by 01/10/2015.
