A short-turning strategy to alleviate bus bunching

Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 2021
Some stops on busy bus lines regularly suffer from bus bunching, which refers to a bus arriving with a little headway to its predecessor. This phenomenon increases scheduling difficulties and has a negative impact on the passenger experience due to unreasonable scheduling.

Bus frequency optimization by avoid bus bunching using wireless network

2017 2nd IEEE International Conference on Recent Trends in Electronics, Information & Communication Technology (RTEICT), 2017
Intelligent public transport system (IPTS) is new trend which is been emerging at various cities, the main aim of this system is to improve efficiency and quality of the system this will increase in use of system and more people will be attracted to public transport.

Self-coordinating Bus Route System to Avoid Bus Bunching

2016
This paper elucidates the problem on bus bunching and the proposed solution to the problem. The motive is to consider the density of passengers and schedule the bus based on the density. The system is capable of considering the density by user-friendly mobile application. The mobile application is accessible within the personal area communication range

Dynamic bus substitution strategy for bunching intervention

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2018
Abstract Bus headways are typically susceptible to external disturbances (e.g., due to traffic congestion, clustered passenger arrivals, and special passenger needs), which create gaps in the system that grow eventually into bunching. Although many control strategies, such as static and dynamic holding strategies, have been implemented to mitigate ...

Bus Bunching Identification Using Smart Card Data

2018 IEEE 24th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS), 2018
Bus bunching is a result of sophisticated traffic condition, unstable bus operation and dynamic travel demand, which not only causes passengers' dissatisfaction, but also degrades the bus service performance. To tackle the bus bunching issue, multiple steps are usually adopted, from bus bunching identification to solution development. This paper serves

Multiline Bus Bunching Control via Vehicle Substitution

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2019
Abstract Traditional bus bunching control methods (e.g., adding slack to schedules, adapting cruising speed), in one way or another, trade commercial speed for better system stability and, as a result, may impose the burden of additional travel time on passengers.

A thrifty approach to the bus bunching problem

2017 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSPC), 2017
The bus bunching problem explains one of the most common problems faced by the individuals in major cities who are travelling by bus for their daily commute. We often come across situations where we wait for a bus for a longer duration and buses won't turn up and suddenly we can see a bunch of same numbered busses coming together.

A FlexiFare Bus (F2B) system to reduce bus bunching problem

2014 IEEE International Conference on Progress in Informatics and Computing, 2014
In this work we study a problem which has been bothering both passengers and operators in the public transportation system long enough - the Bus Bunching Problem. It typically means two or more buses of the same service route getting too close together so that they "bunch" each other.

A predictive-control framework to address bus bunching

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2017
Busy bus routes often suffer from buses not arriving at regular intervals but in bunches at bus stops. In this paper we study this bus bunching phenomenon and address it by a combination of data-driven headway prediction and dynamic holding strategies, which allow to modulate buses’ dwell times at stops to reduce the headway deviation.
