Bus transit capacities are of two types: operational capacity (OC) and maximum capacity (MC). The OC is estimated based on the empirical failure rate (FR), whereas the MC is estimated considering a 25% maximum FR. The hypothesis of this study is that the maximum FR for a bus rapid transit system (BRTS) station would be more than 25%. The OC for a corridor of the BRTS in Ahmedabad, India was first estimated and then, to test the hypothesis, the Vissim microsimulation tool was used for evaluating two stages. Based on the simulation results, a maximum FR of 29% for a BRTS station with two loading areas is proposed. Apart from proposing the maximum FR, the paper also provides revised level-of-service ranges based on the FR for two loading areas at a BRTS station.

检查故障率动态以估算公交快速公交系统走廊的通行能力

公交运输能力有两种：运营能力（OC）和最大能力（MC）。OC是根据经验故障率（FR）估算的，而MC是考虑最大FR的25％估算的。该研究的假设是，快速公交系统（BRTS）站的最大FR将超过25％。首先估算了印度艾哈迈达巴德BRTS走廊的OC，然后为了检验假设，使用Vissim微观仿真工具评估了两个阶段。基于仿真结果，提出了具有两个加载区域的BRTS站的最大FR为29％。除了提出最大帧中继率外，本文还基于BRTS站两个装载区域的帧中继率提供了修订的服务水平范围。
