A novel control strategy in mitigating bus bunching: Utilizing real-time information
Transport Policy, 2022 A variety of control mechanisms have been recommended to concentrate on the issue of bus bunching. However, the majority of existing measures focus on controlling the bus operation directly from the operator\u27s perspective.

Modelling bus bunching under variable transit demand using cellular automata
Public Transport, 2019 Bunching is an operational problem, in bus transit systems with high service frequency, that can lower capacity and affects user satisfaction. The headway (i.e.

Public Transport, 2016 If transit agencies wish to retain and attract riders, they need to provide reliable and efficient services. Transit agencies tend to run high-frequency bus routes during peak hours, and in many cities, different routes can also overlap along major corridors. In some instances, consecutive buses can arrive at a shared stop simultaneously or one bus may

A predictive-control framework to eliminate bus bunching [PDF]
, 2016 Buses not arriving on time and then arriving all at once - this phenomenon is known from busy bus routes and is called bus bunching. This thesis combines the well studied but so far separate areas of bus-bunching prediction and dynamic holding strategies, which allow to modulate buses’ dwell times at stops to eliminate bus bunching.

, 2023 Public transport services are important assets to any major city. They play a vital role in improving urban mobility, reducing car dependency, and mitigating traffic congestion. It is ideal if public transport services are financially sustainable with expedient service quality. To achieve this goal, the key lies in how the full capacity of the existing

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
