本研究針對具備月台等候線限制，公車等候站的大眾運輸轉乘系統，提出不同的公車停等策略應用。利用動態應用模擬軟體發展評估一個捷運轉乘的模擬架構，在此轉乘模擬架構中，設計不同的公車停等策略，目的在於減少轉乘乘客的公車等候時間以及旅程時間。
為了提高大眾運輸轉乘系統的效益，本研究考慮捷運與公車不同的進站時間間隔、不同車輛尖峰、離峰時刻的行駛時間函數、月台公車等候線限制數等因素，設計十九個停等策略，使用動態應用模擬軟體架構現實環境模擬系統，利用智慧型輔助系統科技收集公車即時動態資訊，作為模擬系統的輸入，再針對現實環境所遭遇到的問題，從台北市公車動態資訊系統收集公車行駛資料，測試此系統中的不同停等策略的效益。
模擬結果分析顯示，與原始公車不停等狀態相較，運用智慧型輔助系統科技所設計的停等策略群組對於在公車月台等候站等候轉乘不同路線公車的乘客群具有顯著良好的效益，降低乘客等候時間與旅程時間，提升捷運轉乘系統的效能。

This research aims at the bus holding strategies for the design of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) transferring system in a terminal station with platform constraints. We develop and evaluate a simulation model that the goal of bus holding strategies in the model is to reduce passengers waiting time and traveling time.
In order to enhance the performance of the MRT transfer system, we consider nineteen bus holding strategies that use different traveling time functions of vehicles at different time intervals with platform constraints in the transfer models to construct proposed transfer models in the MRT transfer system. Real-time traffic information acquired by intelligent transportation systems (ITS) help us to make input for the simulation model and we test this model with real-world traffic problem that the data of vehicles was collected by the Taipei e-bus system.
Adding holding strategies in the transfer system is significantly more successful than original traffic model. 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.
