Discriminance of activation time for bus dispatching under the environment of Intelligent Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation

Discriminance of activation time for bus dispatching is a basis for the efficient bus operation. In this paper, bus arrival time prediction model is developed based on the calculation of travel time, dwelling time at the station, and intersection delay. Real-life operational data are used to verify the reliability of the proposed model. Besides, a novel mechanism called lateness recovery is proposed as an on-line dispatching mechanism to render the late buses back to the normal operation. Underlying the proposed lateness recovery is the time deviation coefficient and critical time deviation coefficient. The mechanism lateness recovery is demonstrated with the real-life bus operation data. The communicate content and architecture for bus dispatching timing are designed under the environment of Intelligent Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation (IVIC).
