Abstract
Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, has either the flexible operation of bus and service quality of MRT. One of the characteristics is exclusive right way. There are two pattern of operation by the right acting in concert with infrastructures: closed form and open form. No matter which the pattern is there are some superiority and weakness. Therefore, how to make decision from closed or open form is a big issue.
The focal point is the strategy of open or closed form. The BRT modal was constructed by analytic mathematical approach, and has optimized headway and spacing by minimizing the total system cost. The relationship between the amount and distribution of demand and open-or-closed pattern can be clearly by baseline analysis and sensitivity analysis. Inputting the basic information in the modal can get the figure of open-or-closed threshold. By parameters of a and c which present the OD percentage, there are interrelation between BRT route length and operational design. Thus, this modal could compare the relatively revenue between open and closed BRT form, and guides the planner better one.
