Description

The linear city (Stavanger-Sandnes) has a plan to transform the mixed-traffic bus routes into bus rapid transit (BRT) systems, to provide frequent high and punctual transportation, increase passenger satisfaction (wait time, travel time), citizen satisfaction (integrity with public cars and other vehicles) and achieve higher sustainable measures (CO2 emission, road deterioration, energy for road infrastructure, e.g. traffic lights). However, due to the complexity in the zoning plans and cost cuts, the BRT infrastructure project is subject to several changes and uncertainties regarding possible decisions are needed to be explored and studied. One approach to get a good insight into the behaviour of any operating system under a specific scenario (operating policy) is the modelling and simulation approach. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model that represents and mimic the behaviour of the Bus Rapid Transit between Stavanger and Sandnes.
