  Car Delay Time near a Curbside Stop under Mixed Traffic Condition# 5 10 15 20  Abstract: This paper proposes a delay model to cars under mixed traffic flow near the curbside stop based on queuing theory. Bus stream system is described by an M/M/k queue and the service counter is the bus stop. The conflict between different streams at the stop is developed by the advanced Markovian model with unequal arrival rates and unequal service rates for customers of two major types. The delay to cars near the stop under mixed traffic flow can be derived by the queuing models. The average car delay is estimated as the sum of the average delay at the conflict points between different streams, and the delay resulting from following the slower bicycles that merged into the motorized lane. Car delay model is the function of three types of traffic streams with buses, cars and bicycles. The proposed model may be applicable to design and operational analysis of bus stops in other Asian developing countries. Key words: Delay time; bus stop; mixed traffic flow; queuing theory 0 Introduction As the first point of contact between the passenger and the public transit service, the bus stop is a critical element in a transit system’s overall goal of providing timely, safe, and convenient transportation. In recent decades, many studies have been conducted on the the location [1], design [2-3] and operations [3-4] of bus stops and obtained many useful achievements. In addition, other 25 30 35 40 researchers mainly focused on the effects of bus stops on traffic flow [5-8]. On the bus stop, unfortunately, little information has been published concerning bus stops with non-motor vehicles. As a developing country, China has her own traffic characteristics. Mixed traffic between non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles is an important traffic type in China. Some survey show that non-motor vehicles, mainly bicycle is still one of the more sustainable modes than motor vehicle travel in China.
