Sustainability, Vol. 11, Pages 4592: Threshold Determination for Sharing Bus Rapid Transit-Exclusive Lanes with Conventional Buses (Sustainability)
 


Sharing bus rapid transit (BRT) exclusive lanes with conventional buses is being considered to solve the problem of low utilization rate of BRT-exclusive lanes. However, the quantitative conditions and threshold that determine when to share need to be study. This paper took the common section of BRT and conventional bus lines as its research object. Practical investigation was conducted to analyze shared characteristics from multiple perspectives and explore influencing factors and mechanisms for sharing implementation. Based on the survey results, analytical models were established to quantify the influencing factors from three perspectives of road section, intersection, and bus stop. We selected departure volume of conventional buses as a threshold index and then summarized the constraints and the calculation process of sharing threshold. Finally, numerical examples of different scenarios were used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. The operation efficiency of the road section on exclusive lanes was the constraint on the lower limit of the shared threshold, while the upper limit was constrained by queuing probability or bus operation time under different intersections and stop spacing, which can provide reference for the shared setting of exclusive bus lanes.
