Effects of Bus Lane Operation on Transportation Networks

Abstract:

In this paper, we proposed a network efficiency measure for congested networks based on the user equilibrium, travel costs, demand and road resources being occupied. Compares the network efficiency on expressway before and after the bus lane operation, the results show that the exclusive bus lane stimulates demand for mass transportation, which greatly improves the efficiency of transit operation. Finally, combined with the survey data, we are clear that how to improve the level of services of public transportation and how to attract more travelers to use buses for commuting.
