Phone: + 61 3 9905 5568, Fax: +61 3 9905 4944, Email: [email protected] Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems are an increasingly popular public transport option in Australia and internationally. They provide rail-like quality for bus services for a fraction of the cost of fixed rail. Many claims of high and increasing ridership have resulted from BRT system development; however it is unclear exactly which aspects of BRT system design drive this.

  • Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis
    Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis Sumeet Kumar Jaiswal B.E. (Civil), M. Tech (Transportation) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Urban Development Faculty of Built Environment & Engineering Queensland University of Technology December 2010 Dedicated to my dear sister Deepti Muley Keywords BRT, busway, capacity, lost time, crowd, transit, public transport, interface, dwell time. Sumeet Jaiswal Page i Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), because of its operational flexibility and simplicity, is rapidly gaining popularity with urban designers and transit planners. Earlier BRTs were bus shared lane or bus only lane, which share the roadway with general and other forms of traffic. In recent time, more sophisticated designs of BRT have emerged, such as busway, which has separate carriageway for buses and provides very high physical separation of buses from general traffic. Line capacities of a busway are predominately dependent on bus capacity of its stations. Despite new developments in BRT designs, the methodology of capacity analysis is still based on traditional principles of kerbside bus stop on bus only lane operations. Consequently, the tradition methodology lacks accounting for various dimensions of busway station operation, such as passenger crowd, passenger walking and bus lost time along the long busway station platform. This research has developed a purpose made bus capacity analysis methodology for busway station analysis. Extensive observations of kerbside bus stops and busway stations in Brisbane, Australia were made and differences in their operation were studied. A large scale data collection was conducted using the video recording technique at the Mater Hill Busway Station on the South East Busway in Brisbane.
