Method of Selecting the Space Between Bus Stop and Intersection Considering Environmental Impact

In order to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emission of traffic system at the urban bus stop, the selecting method of the space between the bus stop and the intersection considering fuel consumption and pollutant emission indexes was put forward. VISSIM and MOVES were combined to compute traffic and environment evaluation indexes. The grey relational analysis model was adopted to evaluate the kinds of indexes and the relation between the grey relational grade and space was obtained. Subsequently, the best location of bus stop is at the space where the grey relational grade reached the maximum. Taking single intersection as an example, the selecting method was verified. The result demonstrates that it can obviously reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emission of the whole traffic system at intersection and improve operational efficiency.
