Abstract
In this paper, a dynamic sharing control method for bus lanes before intersections based on a presignal and real-time bus positioning system is proposed. The presignal is set at a certain distance before the intersection, and there is an opening for general cars to enter the bus lane under the control of the presignal. The bus positioning system detects the position of the nearest bus before the intersection in real time. The bus delay and car delay under the dynamic sharing of bus lanes are analyzed. An algorithm for the dynamic sharing control of bus lanes before intersections is proposed to reduce the total delay, including bus delay and car delay. Four schemes are compared through an example, and the results show that the proposed method achieves the shortest total delay and has the least impact on bus travel while improving the capacity of general cars at the intersection.
