Abstract
Project goal is the bus operational effect identification on urban networks with macroscopic simulation procedures and dynamic traffic assignment implementation. Infrastructural consistency regarding arterial size and traffic-signal allocation allows the influence-level determination for various headways, bus-line networks and bus-stop location configurations. Simulation results illustrated higher capacity decrease for the bus-stop location downstream of intersections and for the dense radial network in contrast to their upstream default settlement. Bus simulations present initially close-to-the-no-buses capacity results for 10-Min headways but they reach up to 27% capacity decrease for 2-Min headways. Linear correlation is noticed between the capacity decrease and the bus courses per hour. Reduced vehicle output due to bus operations can be compensated by the passenger output with the higher bus-passenger full factor. Easiness of passenger-requirement satisfaction depends on the selected headway and the network accessibility. The latter relies upon the travel time, the required transfer numbers and the transfer time. Partial network accessibility comparison elucidates beneficial results for the radial network compared to the uniformly-distributed bus network for 5-Min-headway operations. Show more
