论文摘要
从表面上看，公交车被视为公交系统中的有害现象。我们研究了一个带有两个公共汽车站的公共汽车循环，一个常规和一个尖峰公共汽车站，一堆公共汽车可以胜过交错的公共汽车。 Spike Bus Stop建模了一个与火车或地铁服务相连的公交站，在该站点以周期性的间隔（尖峰）分组到达。我们介绍了同步的公共汽车的配置，其中堆的公交车等待需求的尖峰。对于广泛的参数，同步的串联公共汽车在最小化通勤者的等待时间方面优于交错的公交车。我们介绍了一班公共汽车，同步的公交车和完全交错的公交车的平均等待时间的分析公式，考虑到不同的客运需求，公共汽车数量和公共汽车容量。我们通过基于代理的总线循环系统的模拟来证明我们的分析结果的有效性。
Bus bunching is ostensibly regarded as a detrimental phenomenon in bus systems. We study a bus loop with two bus stops, one regular and one spike bus stop, where bunched buses can outperform staggered buses. The spike bus stop models a bus stop connected to a train or metro service, where passengers arrive in groups at periodic intervals (spikes). We introduce the configuration of synchronised bunched buses, where bunched buses wait for the spike in demand. For a wide range of parameters, synchronised bunched buses outperform perfectly staggered buses in terms of minimising the waiting time of commuters. We present an analytical formulation of the average waiting time in the case of bunched buses, synchronised bunched buses and perfectly staggered buses with the consideration of different passenger demand, number of buses, and bus capacity. We demonstrate the validity of our analytical results through an agent-based simulation of the bus loop system.
