“…Although many of the previous work on this subject had identified this problem and the inevitable occurrence of bunching [14-16, 18, 20], we have not encountered an approach based on a physical mechanism for synchronisation of coupled oscillators. Instead, some research dealt with potential strategies towards nullifying bus bunching by holding or delaying some buses, with some extending to adaptive and dynamic controls according to real-time situations [17, 19, 21-23, 29, 31], as well as exploring the effects of buses with wide doors [24,25,30] or engineering the locations of bus stops along the bus routes [27].…”
