Abstract

Based on Markov chain, the paper establishes average queue length model of bus stop. By the model, the length of bus stop zones is determined. By VISSIM, the paper researches on a typical bus stop simulation and certificates Markov model in order to determine the feasibility and reasonableness of zone length. For the typical bus stop, paper studies the rehabilitation programs on the average queuing length, maximum queuing length and delays. Based statistical results, the paper determines a reasonable rehabilitation programs and gives an optimization design instances.
