库里蒂巴一体化公共交通系统

简要介绍了巴西库里蒂巴公共交通一体化发展历程,并从线路、车站、车辆、专用车道、管理和组织等方面概括其特征。指出库里蒂巴良好的城市空间结构和城市客运交通结构绝不仅仅是因为开辟了BRT系统,其成功经验在于：城市与交通整体规划,完整的公共交通体系设计,政府管理机构设置,相应的政策法规、运菅管理机制,以及坚持不懈地按照规划来推进实施等一整套经验。     

Investigations of interactions between bus rapid transit and general traffic flows

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a popular strategy to increase transit attraction because of its high‐capacity, comfortable service, and fast travel speed with the exclusive right‐of‐way. Various engineering designs of right‐of‐way and the violation enforcement influence interactions between BRT and general traffic flows. An empirical assessment framework is proposed to investigate traffic congestion and lane‐changing patterns at one typical bottleneck along a BRT corridor. The BRT bottleneck consists of bus lane, BRT station, video enforcement zone, and transit signal priority intersection. We analyze oblique cumulative vehicle counts and oblique cumulative lane‐changing maneuvers extracted from videos. The cumulative vehicle counts method widely applied in revealing queueing dynamics at freeway bottlenecks is extended to an urban BRT corridor. In the study site, we assume four lane‐changing patterns, three of which are verified by the empirical measurements. Investigations of interactions between buses and general traffic show that abnormal behaviors (such as lane violations and slow moving of the general traffic) induce 16% reduction in the saturation rate of general traffic and 17% increase in bus travel time. Further observations show that the BRT station and its induced increasing lane‐changing maneuvers increase the downstream queue discharge flows of general traffic. The empirical results also contribute to more efficient strategies of BRT planning and operations, such as alternative enforcement methods, various lane separation types, and optimized traffic operations.

快速公交（BRT）智能系统规划与设计研究

随着快速公交系统在我国的迅猛发展及运营管理经验的逐步积累,更加重视快速公交智能技术的创新与应用正成为专业人士的共识,但目前快速公交系统总体规划却忽视了智能系统的实际用户需求,使得快速公交系统运营无法实现效益最优。对快速公交智能系统进行了定义,分析其设计目标和主要功能,建立其框架结构和集成模型,在此基础上提出＂一次设计、分期实施＂的理念和快速公交智能技术优先选择方案。     

Effects of new bus and rail rapid transit systems – an international review

Cities worldwide are implementing modern transit systems to improve mobility in the increasingly congested metropolitan areas. Despite much research on the effects of such systems, a comparison of effects across transit modes and countries has not been studied comprehensively. This paper fills this gap in the literature by reviewing and comparing the effects obtained by 86 transit systems around the world, including Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT), metro and heavy rail transit systems. The analysis is twofold by analysing (i) the direct operational effects related to travel time, ridership and modal shifts, and (ii) the indirect strategic effects in terms of effects on property values and urban development. The review confirms the existing literature suggesting that BRT can attract many passengers if travel time reductions are significantly high. This leads to attractive areas surrounding the transit line with increasing property values. Such effects are traditionally associated with attractive rail-based public transport systems. However, a statistical comparison of 41 systems did not show significant deviations between effects on property values resulting from BRT, LRT and metro systems, respectively. Hence, this paper indicates that large strategic effects can be obtained by implementing BRT systems at a much lower cost.

快速公交“整合式”运营模式分析——以杭州市B1线为例

为解决快速公交过多占用道路资源、影响其他车辆行驶的矛盾,缓和交通供需压力,以杭州市为例,对"整合式"运营模式进行分析.首先介绍杭州B1线实施"整合式"运营模式的背景,然后分析其实施的可行性,提出这种运营模式的优势是使B1线客流明显增长,系统设备得以充分利用.考虑到该运营模式对快速公交造成排队进站、停车时间延长、准点率下降等不利影响,建议引入的线路条数不宜太多,并提出减小影响的相关措施.
