隨著全球定位系統的成熟，發展出許多改善乘客便利性的科技，尤其是著重在資訊科技的智慧型運輸系統對於大眾運輸系統有著極大的影響，藉由ITS取得即時的交通資訊，可以幫助我們在捷運轉乘系統中模擬公車停等策略。
為了提升捷運轉乘系統的效能，而讓接駁車輛停等一小段時間，以便在進站車輛上的乘客可以順利搭乘上接駁車輛，本研究中首先收集台北捷運系統中主要交通路線的搭乘人口，並選定搭乘人口數多且研究性高的轉乘系統做為模型，然後使用台北市公車動態資訊所收集的GPS數據來做統計分析，並利用系統模擬軟體建構實際的捷運轉乘模型，此外我們加入不同的停等策略以及在不同時間點使用不同的車輛行駛時間函數，來產生所欲建構的轉乘模型，最後我們藉由比較乘客的搭乘時間和等待時間來評量停等策略對轉乘模型的成效。
模擬分析的結果顯示，在轉乘系統中實行停等策略降低了乘客的等待時間，確實提升了捷運轉乘系統的效能，而使用智慧型運輸系統輔助的停等策略是有幫助的且有優異的成效。

With the emergence of global positioning system (GPS), several technologies were developed to improve the convenience of travelers. In particular, the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) focusing on information technology have huge impact on public transportation systems. Real-time traffic information acquired by ITS help us to simulate the bus holding strategies in the MRT transfer system.
In order to enhance the performance of the MRT transfer system, the connecting vehicles were held in a short period of time for the passengers from the incoming vehicle to take the connecting vehicle. In this research, we begin with collecting the riderships of the major traffic lines from Taipei’s MRT system and choose the transfer system that has high riderships with research feasibility as model. Next, we use the GPS data collected by the Taipei e-bus system to run statistics analysis, and utilize the system simulation software to build the real world MRT transfer model. Moreover, we add functions with different holding strategies to the simulation models, and use different traveling time functions of vehicle at different time in the transfer models to construct proposed transfer models with holding strategies. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the holding strategies for transfer models by comparing waiting time for passengers with simulation.
The simulation results show that executing the holding strategies in the transfer system indeed improve the performance of MRT transfer system by reducing traveling time and waiting time for passengers. The holding strategies assisted by ITS were implementable and have excellent performance.
