Delay of Bus Rapid Transit at a Bus Stop

To analyze the delay of bus rapid transit (BRT) at a bus stop, the data of line BRT- 1 at Jinan city was collected by manual counts and video capture to model deceleration/acceleration and dwell time. Then the delay time at the bus stop was computed.Resultsshow that the time boarding per passenger is longer than alighting. There is positive correlation between density of passengers in BRT and time boarding per passenger as well as lost time at the stop. The delay time of BRT at the bus stop is at least 12.5 seconds.
