Eliminating Bus Stops: Evaluating Changes in Operations, Emissions and Coverage
Bus systems in the United States are unattractive to many potential riders because of their lack of efficiency, especially with regard to travel time. One of the reasons services are not more efficient has to do with the spacing of bus stops. After using a nearest facility algorithm with an 800 m walking distance threshold to identify eligible bus stops in the current bus system in the city of ...
متن کاملWorking Paper Linking microsimulators of bus stops and traffic operations: The case of PASSION and BusSIGSIM
The aim of this article is to explore the linkage of two microsimulators developed at the University College London. At present, these models deal independently with buses at either bus stops or traffic networks. First, both microsimulators are described in some detail. The generic way in which both models can be connected is then proposed. As a result of this analysis, the main issues for a co...
متن کاملPassenger Wait Time Perceptions at Bus Stops: Empirical Results and Impact on Evaluating Real- Time Bus Arrival Information
This study quantifies the relationship between perceived and actual waiting times experienced by passengers awaiting the arrival of a bus at a bus stop. Understanding such a relationship would be useful in quantifying the value of providing realtime information to passengers on the time until the next bus is expected to arrive at a bus stop. Data on perceived and actual passenger waiting times,...
متن کاملModels of Bus Queueing at Curbside Stops
We consider curbside bus stops of the kind that serve multiple bus routes, and that are isolated from the effects of traffic signals and other stops. A Markov chain embedded in the bus queueing process is used to develop steady-state queueing models for two special cases of this stop type. The models estimate the maximum rate that buses can arrive to, and be served by the stop, and still satisf...
متن کاملOn the Impacts of Bus Stops near Signalized Intersections: Models of Car and Bus Delays
Models are formulated to predict the added vehicle and person delays that can occur when a bus stop is located a short distance upstream or downstream of a signalized intersection. Included in the set of models are those that predict the expected delays that cars collectively incur when a bus blocks one of multiple lanes while loading and unloading passengers at the stop. Others in this set pre...
