Design of Bus Lane End ahead of Roundabout: Case Study Using Microsimulation

Public transport priority is a key transport engineering tool for moving towards sustainable urban mobility. This paper explores the design options for an end of a dedicated bus lane ahead of a single lane roundabout, looking for the optimal design from a public transport perspective. Two possible designs of an end of dedicated lane were simulated using the PTV Vissim program. The parameters of average delay of public transport services and number of unnecessary stops of public transport vehicles were evaluated to determine the optimal design and contribute to a quality for public transport operation in practice.
