In general, buses do not always operate in accordance with the set schedule in the modern-day transit system, mainly due to the randomness of passenger demand and running times. The failure to run on schedule deteriorates the quality of transit services. This paper proposes a real-time hybrid control strategy that is designed to shorten the passenger's waiting time caused by large schedule deviations, which can improve quality of transit services. Schedule deviations of a bus route are evaluated in order to judge whether the hybrid control strategy should be implemented or not. The proposed strategy includes skipping and holding actions, which are intended to allow buses to serve stops with high demand. Besides, to ensure the accuracy of schedule deviations, the controlled bus is followed by a non-controlled bus that provides schedule deviation data. The selection of appropriate skipping stops can be determined by maximising the benefits of a hybrid control strategy. Meanwhile, the control strategy is tested on a bus route. The threshold for implementing the control strategy is determined. Tests in this study prove the validity of the control strategy.

巴士站跳过和保持控制在减少时间表偏差方面的优势

通常，由于乘客需求和运行时间的随机性，公共汽车在现代交通系统中并不总是按照设定的时间表运行。未能按时运行会降低运输服务的质量。本文提出了一种实时混合控制策略，该策略旨在缩短由于大的日程安排偏差而导致的乘客等待时间，从而可以提高过境服务的质量。评估公交路线的时间表偏差，以判断是否应实施混合动力控制策略。拟议的策略包括跳过和保持动作，旨在允许公交车为高需求的站点服务。此外，为了确保进度偏差的准确性，受控总线之后是提供时间表偏差数据的非受控总线。可以通过最大限度地提高混合控制策略的优势来确定适当的跳过停止点的选择。同时，控制策略在公交路线上进行了测试。确定实施控制策略的阈值。本研究中的测试证明了该控制策略的有效性。
