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.

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 ...

A Perspective of Multi-Reflecting TOF MS. [PDF]
Mass Spectrom RevABSTRACT Time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS) excels in rapid and high‐sensitivity analysis, making it a cornerstone of analytical chemistry. But as sample complexity explodes in omics studies, so does the need for higher resolving power to ensure accurate results.

Application of modular vehicle technology to mitigate bus bunching
Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2023 The stochastic nature of public transport systems leads to headway variability and bus bunching, causing both operator and passenger cost to increase significantly. Traditional strategies to counter bus bunching, including bus-holding, stop-skipping, and bus substitution/insertion, suffer from trade-offs and shortcomings.

Factors affecting bus bunching at the stop level: A geographically weighted regression approach
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2020 Efficient operation of bus networks is vital for urban centers. Unfortunately, factors such as uneven passenger loads and congestion hinder the adherence to posted schedules, leading to reliability issues.

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.

Transportation Research, Part A: Policy and Practice, 2023 Autonomous Modular Buses (AMBs) with in-motion transfer capability can be more effective in preventing bus bunching than strategies available with conventional buses, such as bus-holding and/or stop-skipping. We previously proposed bus-splitting, a novel alternative to stop-skipping that directs a modular bus to decouple into individual units when it ...

Nonlinear multimode photonics on-chip. [PDF]
NanophotonicsAbstract Nonlinear integrated photonics, which takes advantage of the strong field enhancement in integrated waveguides to boost the efficiency of nonlinear effects, has paved the way for the demonstration of cutting‐edge applications. These achievements have also been made possible by the impressive progress in material engineering and fabrication ...

Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines [PDF]
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2016 Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting differences in dwell times of subsequent buses at stops. This paper deals with the influence of a frequent but so far largely neglected characteristic of bus networks on bus bunching ...
