Abstract

In situations when in the street network there are no separate areas for the movement of public transport vehicles, traffic conditions influence their operation and efficiency. This paper studies the influence of the volume-to-capacity ratio on the disturbance of public transport headway. The research has been conducted on a segment of the roadway network, in the area of Novi Sad, on two public transport routes. The research results show that the above two parameters are in a significant correlation, that is, in case of higher volume-to-capacity ratio, disturbances in public transport operation are much more noticeable. The results also show that public transport is more prone to disturbances when public transport headways are shorter.

Keywords
