Dynamic behavior in two-route bus traffic system with real-time information

We study the dynamics of two-route bus traffic system with two buses using a bus choice scenario. The two-route bus traffic system with real-time information is not consistent with the two-route vehicular traffic system but is similar to the vehicular system. The two-route bus traffic system is mimicked by the physically dynamic model. The dynamics of two-route bus traffic system is described by a couple of nonlinear maps. A bus runs a neck- and neck race with another bus. The motion of two buses displays an irregular behavior in a complex manner. We clarify the effect of real-time information on the bus traffic.
