Modelling Method on Dynamic Optimal Setting and Associated Control for Intermittent Bus Lane

A new type of dynamic bus lane not only ensures the strategy of bus priority but also significantly improves the spatiotemporal utilization of road resources and reduces the conflicting demands of buses and social vehicles on road resources. Firstly, the heterogeneity of bus arrival time is analysed...

description A new type of dynamic bus lane not only ensures the strategy of bus priority but also significantly improves the spatiotemporal utilization of road resources and reduces the conflicting demands of buses and social vehicles on road resources. Firstly, the heterogeneity of bus arrival time is analysed according to the process of aggregation and dissipation of vehicle queues at intersections. Considering the correlation between the operating states of social vehicles and buses, a dynamic control strategy for bus lane based on the insertable interval of social vehicles is established. Secondly, combining the setting conditions of the intermittent bus lane control area with the correlation scenario of signal control at intersections and then according to the HCM 2010 vehicle delay equation and the BPR function, the associated optimized control model with the minimum total travel time consumption of the road section as the objective function is constructed. The global optimal control of the intermittent bus lane is realized through the computational experiment. Finally, the setting conditions and benefits of three lane organization schemes (including intersect (i.e., no bus priority), parallel, and intermittent bus lanes) are compared and analysed through case study. The results indicate that the intermittent priority bus lanes have opening hours, which can not only ensure bus priority but also expand the right way for social vehicles and make full use of road space resources, thus improving the overall traffic efficiency.
