A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...
