A Novel Homogenous Bus Rapid Transit Model Using Hybrid Petri Nets

Abstract

To better understand the characteristics of three connected vehicles traffic flows that are very common on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), in this paper a hybrid Petri-net based controller model be considered with different classical and new mobile stations bus will be proposed based on the information of three BRT buses. The bus moving model will consider in terms of the safe distance, speed, reaction time, and station setup time or delay. The experimental results of our model on different kinds of movement scenarios, show its impacts on significant improvement of distance and speed control with fast reaction time analyzing. These improve especially on mobile station with reduced delay and a good balance on station setup time. Traffic flow will be effectively increased up to 28% by changing classical stations to new mobile ones. This finding provides a possible way to ease traffic on the BRT network with three connected buses by different roles of BRT buses for passenger transport and BRT mobile station for passenger exchange.
