Abstract EN
Bus dwelling time at stops is affected by the number of boarding and alighting passengers.
Due to the uncertainty of traffic state, dwelling time will become unstable, resulting in unreliable bus operations.
A short-turn strategy shares passenger demand in certain segments of the full-length vehicles; therefore, this strategy can reduce the dwell time of the full-length vehicles and have potential to improve reliability of bus operations.
Firstly, this paper builds a bus operation state model considering short-turn vehicles.
Secondly, the process of bus operation is analyzed to investigate the impact of passenger demand on reliability.
Then, we propose a short-turn dispatching strategy, which can accurately determine the operation area and departure time.
Finally, a numerical simulation is used to evaluate different strategies.
As the result, the analysis reveals the following: (1) the bus operational reliability of full-length vehicles under high passenger demand could be improved by a well-designed short-turn strategy; (2) it is beneficial to improve the reliability of bus operation when short-turn vehicles departure at the change point; and (3) an undesigned short-turn dispatching strategy has a negative effect on full-length vehicles operational reliability.
This study can help design a short-turn strategy and make valuable contributions to the bus management system.
