Abstract:

On the basis of a field observation and analysis of traffic phenomena, models to estimate bus capacities under various traffic conditions are proposed. The bus stop is often the critical section that confines bus capacity. Two types of bus stops are introduced: one is a road section stop and the other is an intersection stop near a signalized intersection. In the latter case, buses' parking maneuvers will be affected by the queue length before the stopline of the intersection. According to these two types of bus stop, various road and traffic conditions are considered while bus capacities are calculated.
