Abstract

Bus lanes are an important measure for improving the quality of bus service and the efficiency of transportation systems. A scientific and reasonable evaluation of the overall traffic operation efficiency of the bus priority road section is helpful to fully understand the improvement effect of the introduction of bus lanes on traffic operation. To comprehensively and objectively evaluate the traffic benefits of bus lanes, the Delphi and grey correlation methods were used to construct a comprehensive weight calculation model of the indicators. The weights of eight traffic benefit evaluation indicators at the two levels of buses and general traffic were calculated, and the weights were then optimized using the target optimization model. Combined with different weight indexes, the evaluation of the traffic benefit level of the bus lane was realized using the matter-element extension model based on the improvement in the sticking progress. The bus lanes of the Daping-Yangjiaping, Huanghuayuan interchange-Luneng turntable, and Dashiba-Hongqihegou routes in the main urban area of Chongqing were used for verification. The results show that the traffic benefits of the three case areas have been improved to a certain extent after the construction of bus lanes, but the benefit level has not changed. Through the analysis of various operating indicators, the weaknesses that affect the traffic efficiency can be obtained, and then the decision-making basis for the implementation and improvement of the bus lane optimization scheme can be provided.
