In this paper, data from an on-site survey in Seoul, Korea and the microscopic traffic simulation are used to evaluate the performances of Bus Rapid Transit bus stops operated on different placements to their nearest traffic signals: far-side, and near-side. The influence of Bus Priority Signal Systems is also analyzed. The results reveal that a near-side bus stop performs better under the current ordinary signal control situation. However, the performance of a far-side bus stop can be improved more significantly by the adoption of a Bus Priority Signal System and becomes even better (-13.3% average value and -22.2% range of bus travel times) than a near-side bus stop especially under a more congested traffic demand. The results are applicable not only for the practical choice of the placements of new bus stops, but also for improving the existing ones.

This study develops and tests a strategy to operate bus on platoon. The bus operation in platoon with bus priority lane increase passenger carrying capacity and efficiency. Three cases normal bus with BSP, bus platoon in set back bus lane with BSP and bus platoon in continuous bus lane with BSP have been compared using simulation method. The BSP to bus platoon has resulted less impact to other vehicles as numbers of priority activated are reduced compared to single bus operation. Finally, it has discussed about implementation issues to prevent platoon disruption and speed up passenger boarding at bus stop.
