Riyadh city, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is experiencing significant economic and population growth, it is also a major metropolitan area in Saudi Arabia and in the Gulf regions. The combination of economic activity and population growth has been the result of travel. This has led to a high level of car ownership and use of vehicles, and this has led to the construction of a series of slow-moving roads and roads around the city. Traffic congestion is a major problem, where road behavior has an economic and psychological impact on people. The Riyadh Bus stations, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System Project are integral part of the current Riyadh metropolitan area including the new Riyadh Metro. This thesis presents an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia. The objective of this study is to assess the implementation and effectiveness of the BRT system as a sustainable and efficient public transportation solution.
The research begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the BRT concept, highlighting its key features and benefits. It then delves into the specific case of Riyadh City, examining the motivations behind the introduction of the BRT system and the planning and design considerations that were taken into account. Using the powerful GIS network analysis functions, a navigation system was developed to assist passengers in planning their trips from one station to giving detailed information about route directions and different BRT lines used.
Data collection methods employed in this thesis analysis of existing data from relevant authorities. Where a network of bus routes was created using statement theory, and the findings where analyzed using statistical techniques and compared with established benchmarks and best practices from other cities with successful BRT systems. The results of this research contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the BRT system's implementation in Riyadh City. The analysis of data provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the system, highlighting areas for improvement and potential strategies for enhancing its performance.
