On the Impacts of Bus Stops near Signalized Intersections: Models of Car and Bus Delays
Models are formulated to predict the added vehicle and person delays that can occur when a bus stop is located a short distance upstream or downstream of a signalized intersection. Included in the set of models are those that predict the expected delays that cars collectively incur when a bus blocks one of multiple lanes while loading and unloading passengers at the stop. Others in this set pre...
متن کاملCar Delay Model near Bus Stops with Mixed Traffic Flow
This paper proposes a model for estimating car delays at bus stops under mixed traffic using probability theory and queuing theory. The roadway is divided to serve motorized and nonmotorized traffic streams. Bus stops are located on the nonmotorized lanes. When buses dwell at the stop, they block the bicycles. Thus, two conflict points between car stream and other traffic stream are identified....
متن کاملQuantifying the joint impacts of stop locations, signalized intersections, and traffic conditions on bus travel time
Quantifying factors that affect bus travel time along arterials is necessary to prioritize investments to reduce bus travel time and its variability and to design advanced prediction and traveler information systems. The joint effects of bus stop location (near vs. far side), intersection delay and traffic conditions on travel time have not been addressed in the literature. To fill this researc...
متن کاملSubways and Urban Growth: Evidence from Earth∗
We investigate the relationship between the extent of a city’s subway network, its population and its spatial configuration. To accomplish this investigation, for a sample of the 632 largest cities in the world, we construct panel data describing the extent of each of the 138 subway systems in these cities, their population, and measures of centralization calculated from lights at night data. T...
متن کاملModels of Bus Queueing at Curbside Stops
We consider curbside bus stops of the kind that serve multiple bus routes, and that are isolated from the effects of traffic signals and other stops. A Markov chain embedded in the bus queueing process is used to develop steady-state queueing models for two special cases of this stop type. The models estimate the maximum rate that buses can arrive to, and be served by the stop, and still satisf...
