Research on Bus Stop Based on Cellular Automaton Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the NaSch model,a cellular automaton mode with two lanes is proposed by computer simulation analysis,which considers the influence of passengers on bus stop.By using MatLab simulation,the paper compares the different traffic flow characteristics between harbor-shaped and nonharbor shaped bus stop.It also analyzes the relationship between the traffic flow and the number of bus,the scope and intensity of bus stop in different ways.The results show that harbor-shaped bus stop is the effective method to alleviate the crowd traffic in the case of larger traffic density;It takes more passengers in the system which used harbor shaped bus stop can accommodate more buses;Harbor-shaped bus stop produced better improvement in the negative influence of bus stopping on local roads.
