Holding strategies in a bus-route model | Scott A. Hill
; | Date: |
1 Sep 2007 | Abstract: | One of the challenges of operating a bus route is to prevent the formation of
clusters, where a bus becomes so late that the following bus catches up to it.
This instability is inherent to the system, and efforts must be made to prevent
a late bus from becoming later or, worse, causing the entire system of buses to
run late. We present a simple, deterministic model of buses on a single bus
route. We discuss the use of schedule slack in this model to allow late buses
to recover, and compare the effects of schedule-based and headway-based holding
on the stability of the system. | Source: | arXiv, 0709.0078 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
