碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 交通運輸研究所 / 88 / Most local governments of major cities in Taiwan are aggressively planning to build mass rapid transit. It is believed to be the solution of the heavy traffic. However,the high costs and long construction periods make some local governments tend to choose light rail transit. Basically, the light rail transit and exclusive bus lane operating in Taipei are very similar in the aspect of type. Here, this research mainly focuses on comparing the performance of the light rail transit and the exclusive bus lane in terms of the capacity and the operation speed.
The research first projects the capacity and operation speed of each mode, and then compares and analyzes the relationship in between. In the past, there were several researches about capacity of exclusive bus lane. Now, the research is to select the most appropriate one and applies it to the calculation. The same method is used to do the operation speed estimation. As for the light rail transit, a system simulation method is used to estimate all activities during the operation process. And then, the output is used for comparison.
After the comparison, the capacity of exclusive bus lane is 9803 passengers per hour. It''s a little bit higher than that of the 6-axis light rail
transit under partial priority(9720 passengers per hour). However, when exclusive bus lane reaches it''s capacity, the operation speed is only 8.18 kilometer per hour. It''s much slower than all kinds of light rail transit system at full capacity. As a result, if we want to increase the capacity of exclusive bus lane by shortening the headway of buses, a serious delay will probably occur. On the other hand, it will not be of the same problem in light rail transit system because of the block signaling. Finally, the relationship between the capacity and operation speed is analyzed, and then, conclusion and suggestions for this study are outlined.
