Abstract EN
On urban streets with bus stops, bus arrivals can disrupt traffic flows in the neighboring areas.
Different stop designs have distinct influences on the road users.
This study aims to evaluate how different types of bus stops affect the operations of vehicles, bicycles, and buses that pass by.
Four types of stops that differ in geometric layout are examined.
They are termed the shared bike/bus (Type 1), separated shared bike/bus (Type 2), vehicle/bus with inboard bike lane (Type 3), and bus bay with inboard bike lane (Type 4).
Data are collected from eight sites in two cities of China.
Results of data analysis show that different bus stop designs have quite different impacts on the neighboring traffic flows.
More specifically, Type 3 stops create the least bicycle delay but the largest vehicle delay.
Type 4 stops have the least impact on bicycle and vehicle operations, but occupy the most road space.
Traffic operations are less affected by Type 1 stops than by Type 2 stops.
Policy suggestions are discussed regarding the optimal design of bus stops that minimizes the total vehicle delay of all modes.
