Impact Assessment of Bus Lane Using Simulation

V. Thamizh Arasan

Abstract

The desirable goal in passenger transportation is moving more people in fewer vehicles. This goal can be attained by encouraging public transport modes like buses by using priority assignment. This paper will focus on an application of a newly developed micro simulation technique to study the impact of provision of reserved bus lanes on the flow of non-lane based heterogeneous traffic on urban roads in India. The results of the study indicate that it is possible to introduce exclusive bus lanes on selected urban roads to enhance the level of service of bus.
