Abstract: The operation of short-turn buses will affect the operation state of full-length buses. The reliability of bus operation system can be improved by properly designing a short-turn departure strategy. Given the operation of short-turn buses,a bus operation state model was established. And the departure strategy was designed with the cu- mulative sum ( CUSUM) method. In addition,based on the real-time IC data of bus No. 973 in Beijing,the influ- ence of different short-turn bus departure strategies on the operation state of full-length buses and passenger's average waiting time were studied by numerical simulation method. The simulation results show that the bus depar- ture strategy developed by this method can not only improve the bus operation reliability,but also greatly reduce the passenger's average waiting time; improper departure time arrangement have a negative impact on the operation reli- ability of other full-length vehicles.
