TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:6086779 L3 - citeulike-article-id:6086779 N2 - The equal headway instability phenomenon is pervasive in public transport systems. This instability is characterized by an aggregation of vehicles that causes inefficient service. While equal headway instability is common, it has not been studied independently of a particular scenario. However, the phenomenon is apparent in many transport systems and can be modeled and rectified in abstraction. IS - 10 JF - PLoS ONE TI - Why Does Public Transport Not Arrive on Time?
