Bus Predictive-Control Method considering the Impact of Traffic Lights
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022 Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many travelers have switched from public transit to other modes. How to maintain the stability and service quality of the bus system under regular pandemic prevention and control, so as to maintain the attractiveness of the ...

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.

Complexity, 2021 In this paper, we propose an empirically based Monte Carlo bus-network (EMB) model as a test bed to simulate intervention strategies to overcome the inefficiencies of bus bunching.

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 ...

A self-coördinating bus route to resist bus bunching [PDF]
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2012 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 coordinating buses. Our method abandons the

Synchronising Bus Bunching to the Spikes in Service Demand Reduces Commuters’ Waiting Time
Complexity, 2022 Bus bunching is ostensibly regarded as a detrimental phenomenon in bus systems. We study a bus loop with two bus stops, one regular bus stop and one spike bus stop, where bunched buses can outperform staggered buses.

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 ...

Improving service regularity for high-frequency bus services with rescheduling and bus holding
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2021 In high-frequency bus services, maintaining the service regularity is a critical issue. The service regularity is directly related to the excessive waiting times (EWT) of passengers at bus stops.

Mixed Scheduling Strategy for High Frequency Bus Routes With Common Stops
IEEE Access, 2020 Bus routes overlapping would lead to more than one bus entering the stop simultaneously, which may trigger bus bunching. Focusing on high frequency routes with common stops, this paper proposes a mixed scheduling method combining the all-stop service and
