Mitigating bus bunching with real-time crowding information. [PDF]
Transportation (Amst), 2023 Abstract A common problem in public transport systems is bus bunching, characterized by a negative feedback loop between service headways, number of boarding passengers and dwell times. In this study, we examine whether providing real-time crowding information (RTCI) at the stop regarding the two next vehicle departures can stimulate passengers to wait

Bus bunching as a synchronisation phenomenon. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractBus bunching is a perennial phenomenon that not only diminishes the efficiency of a bus system, but also prevents transit authorities from keeping buses on schedule. We present a physical theory of buses serving a loop of bus stops as a ring of coupled self-oscillators, analogous to the Kuramoto model.

Using simulation model as a tool for analyzing bus service reliability and implementing improvement strategies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Bus services naturally tend to be unstable and are not always capable of adhering to schedules without control strategies. Therefore, bus users and bus service providers face travel time variation and irregularity.

Can Bus Bunching Reduce Waiting Time? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Bus bunching is ostensibly regarded as a detrimental phenomenon in bus systems. We study a bus loop with two bus stops, one regular and one spike bus stop, where bunched buses can outperform staggered buses. The spike bus stop models a bus stop connected to a train or metro service, where passengers arrive in groups at periodic intervals (spikes).

SIMULATION OF DELAYED BUSES IN A DUMPLING STATE AND ANALYSIS OF MAXIMUM WAITING TIME USING LOGISTIC REGRESSION [PDF]
Transport Problems, 2023 As cities become larger and societies become more complicated, the corresponding transportation systems also become more complicated. Thus far, many important transportation models have been investigated and applied to societies. In this work, we analyze

Applied Sciences, 2022 Bus bunching is a common phenomenon caused by irregular bus headway, which increases the passenger waiting time, makes the passenger capacity uneven, and severely reduces the reliability of bus service.

An Online Optimal Bus Signal Priority Strategy to Equalise Headway in Real-Time
Information, 2023 Bus bunching is a severe problem that affects the service levels of public transport systems. Most of the previous studies in the field of Bus Signal Priority (BSP) and Transit Signal Priority (TSP) focus on reducing a bus delay at signalised ...

Mitigating Bunching with Bus-following Models and Bus-to-Bus Cooperation [PDF]
2015 IEEE 18th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2015 Bus bunching is an instability problem where buses operating on high frequency public transport lines arrive at stops in bunches. In this work, we unveil that bus-following models can be used to design bus-to-bus cooperative control strategies and mitigate bunching. The use of bus-following models avoids the explicit modelling of bus-stops, which would

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022 Overlapping bus lines are ubiquitous in bus networks, particularly in metropolitan areas. The overlapping of bus lines can provide convenience for passengers who wish to transfer. However, it also tends to cause bus bunching at overlapping segment stops.

Reducing bunching with bus-to-bus cooperation [PDF]
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2011 Schedule-based or headway-based control schemes to reduce bus bunching are not resilient because they cannot prevent buses from losing ground to the buses they follow when disruptions increase the gaps separating them beyond a critical value. This critical gap problem can be avoided, however, if buses at the leading end of such gaps are given ...
