公共汽车是世界各地现代城市公共交通的未被承认的冠军。然而，由于对总线系统的实际工作原理缺乏了解，导致总线系统通常被糟糕的设计所困扰。本文研究了公交车、乘客和交通之间的相互作用对公交车站延误和通行能力的影响。首先，问题，如公交车站运营的阶段，延误的原因，以及公交频率和车站延误之间的相互作用进行了分析。这表明有必要进行微观模拟研究停止操作。示出了可以通过关于公交车和乘客的到达模式、上车时间、离开站的困难和车辆容量的模拟实验来实现的那种理解的说明。结果表明，重要的是不要低估在公交车站发现的真实的情况，因为如果现实情况不同，理想条件的设计将是不够的。这些结果的应用表明，显着的改善，可以作出的巴士系统的性能，作为一个更好地了解其操作的结果，导致简单的变化，在基础设施的设计。
Buses are the unrecognized champions of public transport in modern cities around the world. However, the bus system is usually bedevilled by poor design that has resulted from poor understanding of how a bus system actually works. This article examines the impacts of the interactions between buses, passengers and traffic on delays and capacity at bus stops. First, issues like the stages of bus stop operations, causes of delays, and the interaction between bus frequency and stop delays are analysed. This suggests the necessity of microscopic simulation to study stops operations. An illustration of the sort of understanding that can be achieved by means of simulation experiments regarding arrival patterns of buses and passengers, boarding times, difficulties for leaving the stop and vehicle capacity is shown. Results indicate that it is important not to underestimate the real situation found at bus stops, as designing for ideal conditions will be insufficient if the reality is different. Application of these results shows that dramatic improvements can be made to the performance of the bus system as a result of a better understanding of its operation leading to simple changes in the design of infrastructure.
