Avoiding Bus Bunching: From Theory To Practice, Ricardo Giesen
Avoiding Bus Bunching: From Theory To Practice, Ricardo Giesen
PSU Transportation Seminars
The problem of bus bunching in a high frequency service has been largely studied in the literature.
This phenomenon is produced by three main factors
(i) the variability in travel time between stops; (ii) variations in passenger demand; and (iii) drivers’ heterogeneity.
In order to tackle this phenomenon a wide range of control strategies have been proposed, however, none of them had been successfully implemented on a large transit network with high frequency services.
In this talk, we present a control scheme based on a rolling horizon optimization problem that has been successfully implemented for real-time control of two high …
