Investigation and solution to bus bunching problem
Bus bunching is a common phenomenon that generally occurs in major urbanised cities that contain complex and congested traffic networks. It occurs when one or more buses of the same service fails to adhere to their initial headway due to circumstances. Bus bunching will eventually occur when the bus...

Bus bunching is a common phenomenon that generally occurs in major urbanised cities that contain complex and congested traffic networks. It occurs when one or more buses of the same service fails to adhere to their initial headway due to circumstances. Bus bunching will eventually occur when the buses arrive at the same bus stop together. Many transportation institutions and governments worldwide have devised schemes to alleviate the implications of bus bunching. The Bus Services Enhancement Programme (BSEP) was enacted by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to enhance the connectivity and efficiency of public bus services.
