Method of Transit Signal Priority Control Based on the Prediction of Bus Dwell Time at Bus Station

Abstract:

A method is put forward to overcome the disadvantages of traditional transit priority control which lack the information of residence time on bus station to achieve the better target of transit priority. Under the background that the SCM and RFID have been wildly used, and it has been a trend for intelligent traffic system to combine these two technologies organically. We establish a new combined forecasting model to predict the bus dwell time on bus station by collecting the bus station information, analyzing the time series features of bus dwell time and studying the mechanism of ES and RBF models. According to the prediction the signal is adjusted correspondingly. Thus we achieve the goal of enhancing traffic efficiency and simultaneously decrease the negative effect to the social vehicles.
