Research on Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Non-Motorized Vehicles Riding in Bus Station Areas

Considering the traffic conflict between buses and non-motorized vehicles in bus station areas, this paper is concerned with the riding characteristics and influencing factors of non-motorized vehicles. Firstly, the riding characteristics of non-motorized vehicles in bus station areas are investigated and analyzed. The path distribution of non-motorized vehicles is analyzed and the micro-behavior law of non-motorized vehicles in bus station areas is revealed. Then, focusing on lane changing behavior of non-motorized vehicles, the Cox proportional hazard model is constructed, and the influence of five factors including the proportion of bicycles on the non-motorized vehicles lane changing behavior is studied. The results show that different influencing factors have different correlations with the probability of lane changing, which can provide a basis for traffic improvement and assessment in bus station areas.
