Increased bus traffic leads inefficiency at near-side bus stops in median exclusive bus lane because buses are waiting for a signal does not have a vehicle arrived. This study suggests a method for estimating a proper spacing between bus stops and signalized intersection to prevent the inefficiency. We modified the Poisson model for a proper spacing by using both dwell time and waiting time of signal instead of using dwell time only. The waiting time of signal changes by spacing and it was measured using micro simulation program. The iterative algorithm using the change of waiting time of signal was also suggested. By applying the proposed method, measure waiting time by simulation and iterative algorithm, the spacing of near-side bus stops, proper spacing is suggested according to flow rate level.
