A Study on the Bus Delay Model at Bus Stops

In this study, the delay of buses at bus stops is defined and classified. According to this classification, parameters that result in bus delay are then proposed. A concept of "bus arrival occupancy rate" is also introduced in this study to quantitatively explain the situation at a bus stop with reference to a typical bus stop in Beijing. A relationship is then established between bus delay and bus arrival occupancy rate. The study also proposes a delay estimation model for buses at two types of bus stops: a bus bay and a curbside bus stop.
