A self - coördinating bus route to resist bus bunching ∗
The primary challenge for an urban bus system is to maintain constant headways between successive buses. Most bus systems try to achieve this by adherence to a schedule; but this is undermined by the tendency of headways to collapse, so that buses travel in bunches. To counter this, we propose a new method of coördinating buses. Our method abandons the idea of a schedule and even any a priori t...
متن کاملA Dynamic Approach to Eliminate Bus Bunching
Bus schedules cannot be easily maintained on busy lines with short headways: Experience shows that buses offering this type of service usually arrive irregularly at their stops, often in bunches. Although transit agencies build slack into their schedules to alleviate this problem − if necessary holding buses at control points to stay on schedule − their attempts often fail because practical amo...

متن کاملBus Bunching Detection: A Sequence Mining Approach
1 Mining public transportation networks is a growing and explosive challenge due to the increasing number of information available. In highly populated urban zones, the vehicles can often fail the schedule. Such fails cause headway deviations (HD) between high-frequency bus pairs. In this paper, we propose to identify systematic HD which usually provokes the phenomenon known as Bus Bunching (BB...
متن کاملBus transit service reliability: Understanding the impacts of overlapping bus service on headway delays and determinants of bus bunching
To retain and attract new riders, transit agencies are frequently in search for ways to improve system reliability. Transit agencies typically operate several routes that partially or fully overlay (or overlap) one another in order to offer a better service coverage to reach various destinations. While previous research has focused on understanding the general factors that impact headway adhere...
