Abstract

Traffic flows are subject to certain delays due to the maneuvering of buses entering and leaving the stop. The study of how these delays change depending on the frequency of arrival of buses to a stop and, the change of lanes on the road, the intensity of the traffic flow on the road is important in organizing traffic and planning the movement of buses along the route. The article uses simulation models built in the PTV VISSIM program to estimate the delay time of the traffic flow on 2, 3, and 4 lane roads for 4 different values of the intensity of the traffic flow and 5 different values of the bus arrival frequency at the stop. The results obtained are analyzed. The changing nature of traffic flow delays in various scenarios has been studied.
