Station Optimization at Bus Rapid Transit Based on Passenger Benefits—Taking Jinan as an Example

摘要

The bus rapid transit (BRT) system is a large capacity and fast public transportation operation mode. The BRT station is the bottleneck of the whole system, which determines the operation capability of BRT. The time benefit of passengers is the time when the passenger leaves the bus rapid transit vehicle to leave the motor vehicle lane. This paper establishes a delay model based on the time benefit of passengers, and uses the VISSIM software to simulate the delay model. The station settings at an intersection of Jinan BRT1 line (median stop) are used as an example. Model parameters setting are according to the actual data of the survey line. Based on the time benefit of passengers, both calculation and simulation results shows that the station is better at the exit of the intersection than the entrance.
