The delay of bus near a stop when mixed traffic flow is considered

This paper studies the following driving scenario that is common in China and many Asian developing countries: a bus has to temporarily occupy the bicycle lane in order to stop and pick up passengers, where the mixed traffic flow is composed of motorized vehicles and bicycles. A special cellular automation model is proposed to examine the governing factors that influence the delay of a bus near a bus stop. Vehicle inflow rate, bicycle inflow rate and bus inflow rate are specially addressed. Finally, some useful suggestions are presented.
