Survival analysis of car travel time near a bus stop in developing countries

This paper presents an important investigation into car travel time affected by mixed traffic flow near a bus stop on the basis of survival analysis theory. Travel time data associated with mixed traffic characteristics near a bus stop were collected by video cameras. A hazard-based duration model was introduced to analyze the effects of mixed traffic flow on car travel time. The results indicate that mixed traffic flow impacts car travel time significantly. And the presence of bus berthing violation would delay car travel time. The proposed model can be used to forecast temporal shifts in car travel time due to changes in mixed traffic flow. The influential factors related to mixed traffic flow should be given full consideration in the planning and designing of bus stops in developing countries.
