Terminal terrestre de Buses interprovincial en la ciudad de chiclayo
Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego - UPAO, 2017Co-Authors: Quispe Centurion, Vanessa Yoselyn, Lucano Mantilla, Mario Gian FredAbstract:The theme to develop is a Land Interprovincial Bus Terminal in the city of Chiclayo, District of Victoria on the outskirts of the city within the new road approach to the city. The goal is to raise at the south of the city of Chiclayo a Terminal terrestre Interprovincial Passenger providing adequate service in the use of the terminal, contributing to land use planning of the transport system, organize and manage ground transportation by private sector and improve urban planning of the city. The method to follow is to analyze the city of Chiclayo to see the problems being generated due to the quality of service passenger, obtain statistical data on the supply and demand of the city, raise a good location for develop the project, then do a study on the activities of the terminal, make an operational structure, zoning and calculation of necessary areas; the resources are employed in the National Building Regulations, the encyclopedia of PLAZOLA among other documents and regulations at the national level. The Master Plan of Chiclayo raises the relocation of all Bus Terminals found within the metropolis, within an infrastructure. Companies that currently are conditioned to operate as terrestrial finish, but are not designed and constructed according to the rules and areas which should count for a performance in line for Buses and passenger facilities. The disorder and chaos generated by the exit and entry of passengers and the steady flow of passengers has led to this city to pose a Bus terminal in the periphery to relocate current.El tema a desarrollar es un Terminal Terrestre Interprovincial de Buses en la Ciudad de Chiclayo, en el Distrito de la Victoria en la periferia de la ciudad dentro del nuevo planteamiento vial de la ciudad. El objetivo es plantear en la zona sur de la ciudad de Chiclayo un Terminal Terrestre Interprovincial de pasajeros brindando un adecuado servicio en la utilización del terminal, contribuir con el ordenamiento territorial del sistema de transporte, organizar y manejar el transporte terrestre a cargo del sector privado y mejorar el ordenamiento urbano de la ciudad. El método a seguir es hacer un análisis de la ciudad de Chiclayo para ver la problemática que se está generando debido a la calidad del servicio de transporte de pasajeros, obtener datos estadísticos sobre la oferta y la demanda de la ciudad, plantear una buena ubicación para desarrollar el proyecto, luego hacer un estudio sobre las actividades del terminal, hacer un organigrama de funcionamiento, de zonificación y cálculo de áreas necesarias; los recursos que se emplearan son en el reglamento nacional de edificaciones, la enciclopedia de PLAZOLA entre otros documentos y reglamentos vigentes a nivel nacional. El Plan Director de Chiclayo plantea la reubicación de todos los terminales terrestres que se encuentran dentro de la metrópoli, dentro de una infraestructura. Las empresas que se encuentran actualmente son establecimientos acondicionados para el funcionamiento como terminar terrestre, mas no han sido diseñados y construidos de acorde a los reglamentos y zonas con las que debería contar para un funcionamiento acorde para Buses y pasajeros. El desorden y caos que generan la salida y entrada de pasajeros y el constante flujo de pasajeros ha llevado a esta ciudad a plantear un Terminal Terrestre en la periferia para reubicar las actuales

Discrete Event Simulation of Bus Terminals: A Modular Approach with a High Spatial Resolution
'Hindawi Limited', 2021Co-Authors: Lindberg Therese, Johansson Fredrik, Peterson Anders, Tapani AndreasAbstract:Interchange stations with their many connecting modes and lines are central for a high-quality public transport system. Bus access at the station needs to operate reliably and efficiently in order to prevent congestion and queues. To this end, a conceptual simulation model for evaluation of Bus terminal operations is presented in this paper. It is based on discrete event simulation and able to describe the detailed movements and interactions that occur between vehicles at larger Terminals. The model has a modular approach, where common spatial sections at Terminals are represented by modules that can be easily combined into many different terminal layouts. An implementation of the model is presented and, as a first sensitivity test, applied in a numerical experiment representing Norrkoping interchange station in Sweden. The results indicate that the model can be a useful tool in planning processes.Funding Agencies|K2-the Swedish Knowledge Centre for Public Transport

Microsimulation Of Bus Terminals : A Case Study From Stockholm
'Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)', 2020Co-Authors: Lindberg Therese, Johansson Fredrik, Peterson Anders, Tapani AndreasAbstract:When new Bus Terminals are being planned or existing ones redesigned, suitable tools that are able todescribe the complex situation at a terminal are needed. Using microsimulation, vehicle movements andinteractions can be simulated and the congestion and capacity of a terminal can be evaluated. In this study,a discrete event simulation model is used in a case study of the Slussen Bus terminal in Stockholm, Sweden.The model is calibrated and validated with empirical data that are automatically collected at the terminal.Already with this limited amount of data, the parameter time per boarding passenger can be calibrated witha relative error less than 1 % and the validation gives further insights into the data needed for calibrationof a terminal simulation model

Discrete Event Simulation of Bus Terminals
'Linkoping University Electronic Press', 2019Co-Authors: Lindberg ThereseAbstract:Public transport is important to society as it provides spatial accessibility and reduces congestion and pollution in comparison to other motorized modes. To assure a high-quality service, all parts of the system need to be well-functioning and properly planned. One important aspect for the system's Bus Terminals is their capacity. This needs to be high enough to avoid congestion and queues and the delays these may lead to. During planning processes, various suggested designs and solutions for a terminal need to be evaluated. Estimating capacity and how well the suggestions will function is a challenging problem, however. It requires analysis of complex interactions and behaviour of the vehicles. This sort of analyses can preferably be carried out using microsimulation. Furthermore, a discrete event simulation approach can make use of the fact that the path of a vehicle through a terminal can readily be described by a sequence of events (such as arriving, starting to drive to a stop etc.). The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate how discrete event simulation can be used to evaluate Bus terminal design and traffic control policies. The main contribution is the development of a method for Bus terminal simulation. As a first step, a discrete event simulation model of a combined Bus and tram stop is formulated. The model is tested on a real system where the current design is compared to an alternative one. The test shows that a model developed with a discrete event approach can be used to evaluate the situation at a stop and compare design alternatives. In the next step, a general discrete event simulation model of Bus Terminals is formulated. A modular approach is introduced, where a terminal can be constructed from a set of module building blocks. Another important contribution of the model is its spatial resolution that allows for queues and blockages to occur throughout the terminal. By applying the simulation model in a case study, it is shown that the model can be used to evaluate and compare various scenarios related to the layout, number of passengers and the outside traffic situation. Lastly, the Bus terminal simulation model is used in a second case study in order to compare model output with empirical data. This study identified a number of factors that may have had an influence on differences between observations and simulation results and that is of interest to look further into. This includes the actual adherence to terminal rules and the effects of model parameters
