Study on the Optimization of Bus Coordination Holding Control for Transit Hub

Transport organization on transit network is the key technology to improve network operation efficiency and reliability. Bus coordination dispatching for transit hub is one of the basic methods for transport organization on transit network. In this article, bus coordination holding control for transit hub, as an important dynamic dispatching method of improving transit hubs' service level, is studied in the framework of bus coordination dispatching mode for transit hub. First, bus coordination holding control flow is studied on the basis of APTS (Advanced Public Transportation Systems) environment. Then, a control model is presented to optimize bus vehicle holding times and the corresponding solving method is discussed. In the end, an example is given to illustrate the control strategy.
