This study explores the impact of dedicated bus lanes on the synchronization of bus arrivals at urban transfer passenger nodes. A simulation model was developed to evaluate how varying traffic conditions affect schedule adherence and inter-route passenger transfers. The model was applied to Routes 40 and 136 in the city of Dnipro. Results indicate that dedicated bus lanes significantly improve arrival regularity. Route 40 showed an average deviation of 0.8 min, and Route 136 had 1.3 min. Over 90% of Route 40 trips and 83% of Route 136 trips arrived within ±1 min. Delay compensation varied by route and speed. At 50 km/h, compensation reached 3.1 min for Route 40 and 3.9 min for Route 136. Maintaining constant speeds between 40–50 km/h allows for effective delay mitigation and timely transfers. These findings confirm the effectiveness of dedicated lanes in enhancing public transport reliability and transfer coordination.

摘要

This study explores the impact of dedicated bus lanes on the synchronization of bus arrivals at urban transfer passenger nodes. A simulation model was developed to evaluate how varying traffic conditions affect schedule adherence and inter-route passenger transfers. The model was applied to Routes 40 and 136 in the city of Dnipro. Results indicate that dedicated bus lanes significantly improve arrival regularity. Route 40 showed an average deviation of 0.8 min, and Route 136 had 1.3 min. Over 90% of Route 40 trips and 83% of Route 136 trips arrived within ±1 min. Delay compensation varied by route and speed. At 50 km/h, compensation reached 3.1 min for Route 40 and 3.9 min for Route 136. Maintaining constant speeds between 40–50 km/h allows for effective delay mitigation and timely transfers. These findings confirm the effectiveness of dedicated lanes in enhancing public transport reliability and transfer coordination.
