We introduce a novel hybrid controller, which aims to maintain regularity on bus operations while reducing the number of stops at signalized intersections. The controller combines a rule-based holding criterion with a cooperative intelligent transportation systems based strategy, namely green light optimal dwell time adaptation (GLODTA), which exploits signal phase and timing information to modify dwell times at stops. In order to address the bi-objective criterion, holding control is integrated with transit signal priority (TSP) and an additional driving advisory system, which adjusts speed to reduce stopping at signals. The different controllers are evaluated using simulation of major bus line in Luxembourg City. The results show that buses are efficiently operated without necessarily providing additional priority via TSP, hence without negatively affecting the capacity of the private vehicles system. The new controller improves further the performance in terms of regularity and reduces the number of stops at traffic lights.

使用协作式 ITS 加强总线保持控制

我们引入了一种新颖的混合控制器，旨在保持公交车运行的规律性，同时减少信号交叉口的停靠次数。该控制器将基于规则的保持标准与基于协作智能交通系统的策略相结合，即绿灯最佳停留时间自适应 (GLODTA)，该策略利用信号相位和时序信息来修改停靠点的停留时间。为了满足双目标标准，保持控制与交通信号优先级 (TSP) 和额外的驾驶咨询系统相结合，可调节速度以减少在信号处停车。使用卢森堡市主要公交线路的模拟来评估不同的控制器。结果表明，公交车可以高效运行，而不必通过 TSP 提供额外的优先级，因此不会对私家车系统的容量产生负面影响。新控制器在规律性方面进一步提高了性能，并减少了在红绿灯处的停车次数。
