摘 要:To determine how bus stop design influences mixed traffic operation near Chinese bus stops,a new theoretical method was developed by using additive-conflict-flows *** procedure was extended from homogeneous traffic flow to mixed traffic *** on the procedure and queuing theory,car capacity and speed models were proposed for three types of bus stops including curbside,bus bay and bicycle *** effects of various combinations of bus stop type,traffic volume,bus dwell time,and berth number on traffic operations were *** results indicate that traffic volume,bus dwell time and berth number have negative effects on traffic operations for any type of bus *** different types of bus stops,at car volumes above approximately 200 vehicles per hour,the bus bay and bicycle detour designs provide more benefits than the curbside *** traffic volume increases,the benefit firstly increases in uncongested conditions and then decreases in congested *** reaches the maximum at car volumes nearly 1 100 vehicles per *** results can be used to aid in the selection of a preferred bus stop design for a given traffic volume in developing countries.
