Modelagem de Interações entre Operações de
Ônibus e Fluxos de Tráfego
Abstract
Simulation models in general pay little attention to the presence of buses
in mixed traffic. Not all of such models differentiate between buses and
other heavy vehicles and, when they do so, they simply establish where
and for how long the buses stop. Such simplification lets important aspects
of bus operations pass unnoticed, as well as the reaction of other vehicles
to the presence of buses in traffic systems. This paper reports the progress
of a research project intended to produce a model that represents in detail
the phenomena associated to bus operations in urban traffic, highlighting
its applicability to the public transport management.
