Study on the Route-Selection Behavior of Bus Passengers Based on an Evolutionary Game under the Condition of Information Guidance

Bus guidance information supplied by advanced traveler information systems provide a reference for route selection by bus passengers. This study analyzes the interaction between bus passengers’ route-choice behavior and the relationship in a game. The game revenue of the passengers waiting on the bu...

description Bus guidance information supplied by advanced traveler information systems provide a reference for route selection by bus passengers. This study analyzes the interaction between bus passengers’ route-choice behavior and the relationship in a game. The game revenue of the passengers waiting on the bus platform is quantified by parameters such as the number of passengers waiting on the platform, the number of passengers on the bus, and the passenger capacity of the bus. Based on the characteristics of passenger-bounded rationality, an evolutionary game model of bus choice behavior under information-induced conditions is established. Through the evolutionary game model, the distribution of the proportion of passengers receiving the guidance strategy is obtained when the evolution is stable. Finally, according to the distribution results, the passenger guidance strategy is discussed to achieve a win-win situation between passengers and bus operators.
