“…The Elitist Non-Dominated Sorted Genetic Algorithm-II was employed to search a group of Pareto optimal solutions for the model. Khoo et al [40] solved the problems of selection and scheduling of the exclusive bus lane with NSGA-II. Compared with NSGA, NSGA-II could reduce the complexity.…”

“…Despite the potential benefits brought by reserved bus-lanes, once they are implemented, they may make nonbus vehicles on non-reserved lanes spend more time, i.e., negative impact will be generated by reserved lanes. Therefore, it is necessary to optimally reserve bus-lane since improper bus-lane reservation may worsen the already congested urban traffic instead of improving it [3].…”

“…Li and Ju [9] formulated a multi-mode dynamic traffic assignment in form of variational inequality to study the interactions of cars and buses with and without bus-lanes during different time periods, and proposed a heuristic to solve it. Recently, Khoo et al [3] proposed a biobjective mathematical model for optimal bus-lanes selection and schedule. The objectives are to minimize the travel time of buses and cars, simultaneously, and hybrid non-dominated sorting GA was proposed to tackle them.…”

“…One common characteristic of the previous studies on optimal bus-lane reservation [3,[7][8][9][10] suppose that the bus transit paths of bus lines are known, and the proposed theories and methodologies may not be suitable to the case where the transit paths need to be designed. Moreover, although guaranteeing the bus arrival time is very important for a bus transit system, it is ignored in the existing studies.…”

In this paper, we investigate a new bus-lane reservation problem in transportation network, which aims to optimally decide which lanes to be reserved for the exclusive use of buses and design bus transit paths for bus lines to achieve time-efficient bus transit with stop time window constraints. However, an exclusive bus-lane may cause negative impact on non-bus vehicles running on its adjacent non-reserved lanes as it reduces their available lanes. The objective of the problem is to minimize the total negative impact caused by reserved lanes. To address this problem, we first formulate a mixed-integer non-linear program and its complexity is proved to be NP-hard. Then, the nonlinear model is equivalently transformed into an linear one. Furthermore, properties of the problem are analyzed to reduce the search space for optimal solutions and tighten the proposed linear model. Finally, it is solved using commercial optimization software CPLEX. Computational results on randomly generated instances show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

“…Inevitably, traffic flow on general motor lanes will interfere with that on an adjacent special lane and this may cause network inefficiencies. Previously, some research efforts have been focused on the traffic flow interference between general lanes and exclusive bus lanes (Arasan, Vedagiri 2010;Khoo et al 2014), or general lanes and bicycle lanes (Chen et al 2016), but few investigated such situation for HOV lanes. To address the gaps of previous research, this study aims to propose a link performance function dedicated to HOV lanes, and in the meantime, seeks to explore the interaction of general motor lanes and contiguous HOV facilities.…”

Abstract. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are widely used on freeways and play an important role in network design and management. Likewise, link performance functions serve as an essential tool for transport system analysis. This paper aims to support network analysis by providing a tailored link performance function for HOV lanes contiguous with general motor lanes on freeways. Specifically, real traffic data is used for model calibration and evaluation that was assembled from the Performance Measurement System (PeMS) maintained by the California Department of Transportation. Three alternative models for link performance functions of HOV lanes on freeways are developed, which take traffic performance on both HOV lanes and adjacent sets of general motor lanes into consideration. To calibrate the parameters of the models, linear regression is made through stepwise and enter methods and nonlinear regression is carried out using sequential quadratic programming. Statistical analysis together with an evaluation using real traffic data is conducted to evaluate the validity of the proposed models. Our results show that all the three proposed models for contiguous HOV lanes on freeways are statistically significant and perform better in representing real traffic condition with regards to a traditional link performance function, with one specific nonlinear model best supported.
