A Study on the Bus Delay Model at Bus Stops

摘要

In this study, the delay of buses at bus stops is defined and classified.rnAccording to this classification, parameters that result in bus delay are thenrnproposed. A concept of “bus arrival occupancy rate” is also introduced in thisrnstudy to quantitatively explain the situation at a bus stop with reference to arntypical bus stop in Beijing. A relationship is then established between bus delayrnand bus arrival occupancy rate. The study also proposes a delay estimation modelrnfor buses at two types of bus stops: a bus bay and a curbside bus stop.
