Robustness and disturbances in public transport

L Ge, S Voß, L ** scheme with random travel time
Z Liu, Y Yan, X Qu, Y Zhang - Transportation Research Part C: Emerging …, 2013 - Elsevier
When a bus is late and behind schedule, the stop-skip** scheme allows the bus vehicle to
skip one or more stops to reduce its travel time. The deadheading problem is a special case …

Bus dwell time estimation at bus bays: A probabilistic approach
