在道路上设置的巴士站的数量和类型显著影响道路上的交通流特性。在均匀交通条件下，公交停靠站对交通流影响的研究已经被一些研究者所尝试。然而，在异质交通条件下，公交停靠站对交通流的影响的研究，被发现是缺乏。本文主要研究非均匀交通流的特性，特别是公交站点对交通流的影响。首先，概述了微观交通流仿真模型，用于研究非车道的异质交通在城市道路连接的流动特性。最后，利用实测数据对模型进行了验证。最后，应用该模型研究了异质交通流中路边公交停靠站和候车亭对其他车辆速度的影响。的基本参数，如公交车停留时间，道路宽度和交通流量水平的变化的影响，检查路边和公交海湾类型的站。该模型在确定交通流量水平方面的有用性也得到了强调，例如，以巴士停车位取代路边站。
The number and type of bus stops provided on a road significantly influence the flow characteristics of traffic on the road. The study of the influence of bus stops on traffic flow under homogeneous traffic conditions has been attempted by several researchers. However, studies on the influence of bus stops on traffic flow under heterogeneous traffic conditions, are found to be absent. This paper is concerned with the study of heterogeneous traffic flow characteristics using a simulation technique with specific reference to the influence of bus stops on the traffic flow. First, an overview of the microscopic traffic-flow simulation model used to study the flow characteristics of nonlane-based heterogeneous traffic on urban road links is given. Then, the validation of the model based on field observed data is described. Finally, the application of the model to study the impact of curbside bus stops and bus bays on the speeds of other vehicles in heterogeneous traffic streams is dealt with. The effects of variation of the basic parameters, such as bus dwell time, road width, and traffic flow level, are examined for both curbside and bus bay type of stops. The usefulness of the model in fixing the traffic flow levels for replacing curbside stops with bus bays, as example, has also been highlighted.
