A Cellular Automata Traffic Flow Model considering Bus Lane Changing Behavior with Scheduling Parameters

Abstract EN

According to different driving behavioral characteristics of bus drivers, a cellular automata traffic model considering the bus lane changing behavior with scheduling parameters is proposed in this paper.

Traffic bottleneck problems caused by bus stops are simulated in multiple lanes roads with no-bay bus stations.

With the mixed traffic flow composed of different bus arrival rate, flow-density graph, density distribution graph, and temporal-spatial graph are presented.

Furthermore, the mixed traffic flow characteristics are analyzed.

Numerical experiment results show that the proposed model can generate a variety of complicated realistic phenomena in the traffic system with bus stops and provide theoretical basis for better using of traffic flow model.
