Abstract

This paper proposes a variable bus lane control strategy suitable for small and medium-sized cities to address the issue of road resource waste caused by fixed bus lanes and improve the utilization of road resources. By real-time detection of bus and non-bus traffic flow, bus speed, and passenger flow, and calculating the traffic flow ratio and road saturation, the strategy determines whether to activate the variable bus lane, displayed through variable signs. By fitting the changes in the ratio of bus to non-bus traffic flow and the average bus speed, the critical point for activating the bus lane is determined. This strategy is applicable to any time period and high-traffic areas in small and medium-sized cities, significantly improving road resource utilization and traffic efficiency. Through dynamic adjustment, it not only enhances the operating efficiency of buses but also improves the traffic speed of non-bus vehicles, providing an innovative and effective solution for traffic development in small and medium-sized cities.
