The location of the bus stop in the on/off-ramp （thereafter downstream or upstream case） is discussed. The simulation results show that in the two ramp systems, the reasons for traffic congestions are different. In the on-ramp system, buses and cars coming from on-ramp interweave each other, while in the off-ramp system, buses interweave with cars exiting to off-ramp. Thus, in the on-ramp （off-ramp） system, the upstream （downstream） bus stop is helpful to reduce the interweaving situation. Moreover, the negative effect will disappear when the distance between the bus stop and the on/off-ramp is more than 20 cells （i.e. 150 m）. These qualitative findings may provide some suggestions on traffic management and optimization.展开更多
