20.500.12556/RUL-176502 A max-plus algebraic model of bus bunching and control strategies Disruptions in bus public transport systems, such as congestion, varying demands etc. lead to deviations from timetables in bus headways. An often occurring and problematic phenomenon is bus bunching, where several buses on the same route arrive at a stop at the same time and there are large headways between separate bunches. Thus the bus arrival frequency is effectively diminished and travel time is prolonged, including waiting time and in-vehicle time, which has considerable negative impact on system reliability. In order to improve service performance in terms of travel times and predictable bus arrival frequencies, bus holding strategies need to be employed. We propose a max-plus algebraic approach to modelling bus dynamics and the occurrence of bus bunching. The model is used to propose a bus holding strategy. Numerical results are presented for a simulation of a high-frequency route in a small artificial bus public transport network. max-plus algebra bus bunching bus holding bus service reliability algebra avtobusni prevozi projekti zanesljivost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-02 13:46:22 2025-12-02 13:46:23 2026-02-06 11:50:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 88-94 Vol. 83 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 512:656.1 2352-1465 10.1016/j.trpro.2025.02.013 232190211 230609155 1-s2.0-S2352146525000158-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S2352146525000158-main.pdf 1 875E842DC26C475AF5CCA11F5408342F 9dc5bfefbdf32511bfb6b225fd3d4c714080311618fa405498e4eb709fdcf7c2 662c13fa-cf7d-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222872 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352146525000158 1 8647ebae-cf7c-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222870 Fakulteta za pomorstvo in promet Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
