Reducing Bus Bunching with Asynchronous Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
Proceedings of the Thirtieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 The bus system is a critical component of sustainable urban transportation. However, due to the significant uncertainties in passenger demand and traffic conditions, bus operation is unstable in nature and bus bunching has become a common phenomenon that undermines the reliability and efficiency of bus services.

IEEE Access, 2020 The arrival time of bus at the stop is critical data in design of bus operational strategies. Especially for real-time control strategies (i.e., signal priority system), bus arrival time is usually predicted to assess the next bus operation condition in ...

Comparison of Two Algorithms for Multiline Bus Dynamic Dispatching
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022 Dynamic bus scheduling refers to adjusting the departure time according to the latest time-varying information or adjusting bus speed in the process of operation. These control strategies can prevent bus bunching and alleviate traffic pressure. The paper

Travel Time Reliability Analysis Considering Bus Bunching: A Case Study in Xi’an, China
, 2022 Bus bunching occurring at stops has an unstable impact on bus travel time. In order to evaluate urban bus travel time effectively, the travel time reliability (TTR) addressing bus bunching is analyzed. This paper focuses on the delayed time caused by bus

Improving Bus Operations through Integrated Dynamic Holding Control and Schedule Optimization
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2018 Bus bunching can lead to unreliable bus services if not controlled properly. Passengers will suffer from the uncertainty of travel time and the excessive waiting time. Existing dynamic holding strategies to address bus bunching have two major limitations.

International Conference on Models and Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2021 Bus bunching is a well-known problem in public transport networks. It is characterized by a self-amplifying relationship between uneven distribution of rising passenger loads and deteriorating service regularity.

Development and Evaluation of Bus Operation Control System Based on Cooperative Speed Guidance
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2015 Buses often have strong bunching or large interval tendency when traveling further along the route. To restrain this further deterioration of operation service, this paper developed a bus operation control system to dynamically adjust bus speed, bus ...

Bus Operations Scheduling Subject to Resource Constraints Using Evolutionary Optimization
Informatics, 2018 In public transport operations, vehicles tend to bunch together due to the instability of passenger demand and traffic conditions. Fluctuation of the expected waiting times of passengers at bus stops due to bus bunching is perceived as service ...

Reliability of Supply and the Impact of Weather Exposure and Protection System Failures
Applied Sciences, 2020 Extreme weather is known to cause failure bunching in electrical transmission systems. However, protection systems can also contribute to the worsening of the system state through various failure modes—spontaneous, missing or unwanted operation.
