Simulation of intercepting bus stations in a major city

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of developing and testing a methodology for studying the movement of buses on scheduled routes in intercity and suburban traffic from the bus terminal of a major city. The AnyLogic 8 University simulation package was used for visual representation of traffic, which allows us to get quantitative characteristics of traffic on an hourly schedule as a result. Based on the results of the study, a logistics approach was developed to determine the location of transport hubs "bus terminal/bus station", as a system of intercepting bus stations that should be integrated into the route network of the major city.
