Integrating Bus Holding Control Strategies and Schedule Recovery: Simulation-Based Comparison and Recommendation

Abstract: In the absence of control strategies, headway fluctuation and bus bunching are commonly observed in transit operation due to the stochastic attributes such as travel time and passenger demand. Existing research on real-time control largely focused on developing operational tactics to maintain bus arrival regularity at stops without fully considering the effect of schedule recovery. This paper investigates the effect of bus driver behavior on bus holding control strategies and more specifically their effort in … Show more

“…While the two previous strategies deal with the buses' interaction with passengers, this intervention involves the intrinsic behaviors of the buses. Similar to speed change control [42] or schedule recovery [21] schemes, the strategy involves actuating each bus to either speed up or to slow down, based on their current headway. Specifically, each bus with a backward time-headway greater than the equal timeheadway state of h * t � H t /N will be forced to slow down, and buses with h t < H t /N will be sped up.…”

“…Bus bunching occurs when the distance between two or more buses reduces to near zero. In traffic studies [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], bus bunching is often examined through the headway between two buses, i.e., the forward distance or time of a vehicle to its leading vehicle. Bunching occurs naturally as a consequence of the interaction between buses and passengers [2,4,5] after discounting the effects of other traffic.…”

“…In practice, there exist large amounts of uncertainties in vehicle travel time due to traffic congestion, bad weather, etc. (Yao et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2018). To increase the operational accuracy, a handful of works have considered stochastic travel time in the design of limitedstop service at the planning level.…”

“…With the advent of new technologies, some holding strategies have been proposed to take advantage of real-time information so as to reduce passengers' waiting times [3][4][5][6]. Using real-time information, many headway-based holding strategies have been proposed to adaptively control the system [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. A "twoway-looking control" bus headway control method was proposed by Daganzo [14].…”
