| description | This paper proposes a methodology for bus lane allocation including different strategies, dynamic bus lanes, and exclusive bus lanes. Choosing the right solution depends on many factors, such as traffic flow, passenger flow, and time losses. Analytical or simulation models can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a separate bus lane. Analytical methods are simple to use and provide results in a short time. Simulation models, unlike analytical ones, require much more time and data to prepare but they are also much more detailed and accurate data. Therefore, analytical models may be particularly needed in the first stage of planning work during which potential sections for separated bus lanes are indicated. In this article, the author proposed an analytical model based on the 6th edition of the Highway Capacity Manual, which can be used to assess the implementation of separated bus lanes in different strategies. The final model developed was calibrated using traffic measurement results collected in a Polish city. As a result of the work, the author proposed the calculation procedure of the assumptions and diagrams, enabling the assessment of the selection of the appropriate solution. |
