Abstract :
Since the stopped buses at bus station, there occurs the potential effect of capacity of adjacent lane. With the combination of the related results of traffic flow theory and queuing theory, the qualitative and quantitative analysis were worked out separately. Based on the effect time of bus stop on capacity of adjacent lane, the effect time model of bus station was established and then two capacity discount rate models which the bus was overflowed and unoverflowed can be derived and tested with simulation method. Then under the conditions of different arrival rates of buses and community vehicles, the results of model and simulation were analysised, at last setting conditions of bus station were given.
