Abstract

The issue of bus stop design was first raised by the author in 1999 in a discussion of the importance of bus stops on bus operations and bus priorities. This paper presents a microscopic simulation approach to the study of bus stop operations in detail. The model stresses the sort of factors that havemore influence on the operations at bus stops and concludes that detailed modelling of bus stops and appropriate designs based on this modelling approach could improve the operation of the whole bus system. These conclusions are equally valid for buses, trams and LRT systems. This work is complementary with another in progress on simulation bus-traffic interactions around bus stops (Silva, 2000).
