Abstract
The variability of traffic flows and passenger arrival patterns lead to unstable bus operation systems. To improve the level of bus service and maintain stable headways, a bus speed guidance model is proposed in this paper. Based on the time that buses depart from or arrive at bus stops, the model determines the holding time at bus stop and the recommended travel speed between stops. Meanwhile, combined with queuing information at intersections, the recommended speed at station-to-intersection section is calculated to reduce the average delay at intersections. Finally, different headway variances and travel time fluctuations are set to validate the proposed control model. The results show that under the speed guidance model, the variance coefficient of headways and the average passenger waiting time can be reduced apparently.
