Bus stop setting problem based on cellular automaton traffic model

Nowadays, traffic jam becomes a big problem for cities with large population. Bus is a main component of public transportation, and then the design of bus stop position and size should improve efficiency of public transportation. This research focuses on a certain bus stop between two intersections. The target of this research is to work out a best plan for the bus stop type, position and size. To solve the problem of bus stop setting, a mixed traffic flow model including buses, cars and trucks is established by CA (cellular automaton) model. And then the best bus stop settings plans can be determined through the simulation with a traffic simulator.
