Abstract

The paper is focused on application of stochastic microscopic simulation model by design of a methodology to support preliminary decision-making about bus stops by using analytical data. The emphasis is put on bus stops with berth in driving lane located near road junctions. Four different bus stop types are applied for possibility to generalize the results. Relations between different operational features like e.g., traffic intensity, frequency of bus services or distance between junction and the bus stop are assessed. The relations are assessed by using stochastically generated inputs. PTV Vissim simulation software is applied.
