The analysis and evaluation of transit operations and control, in particular in the context of Advanced Public Transport System (APTS) requires the dynamic modeling of the transit system. A dynamic transit simulation model has to capture the interactions between three main components: passengers, transit operations and traffic dynamics at the network level. BusMezzo is a dynamic transit analysis and evaluation tool that represents timetables, vehicle scheduling, control and management strategies, real-time information and adaptive passenger choices. Individual passengers carry out a sequence of boarding, walking and alighting decisions along their journey. The model had been applied for the evaluation of holding control strategies and information provision scenarios.
