Bus stopping delays at signal-controlled intersection with bus stops upstream

In order to precisely calculate bus delays at stops of the entrance way at the signal-controlled intersection and evaluate the setting appropriateness of the bus stops,the bus delay models were developed based on different settings of the entrance ways at the signalized intersection. Through analyzing bus moving and stopping characteristics at the entrance way of the signal-controlled intersection,calculation methods and formulas of bus stopping delays in different cases were studied. On the basis of the calculation methods and also using the integral method,a set of calculation formulas about average bus stopping delays at the entrance way were found out. According to the test results,the formulas can calculate the average bus stopping delays well and provide a theoretical basis as well as a quantitative analysis tool for reconstructing and setting bus stops at signalized intersections.
