The recent extension of a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) into a bi-modal MFD (or 3D-MFD) provides the relationship among the total network circulating flows and the accumulations of private vehicles and public buses. 3D-MFD reveals the contribution of large occupancy vehicles such as buses in improving urban transportation efficiency. A lot of bi-modal traffic management techniques are introduced based on 3D-MFD to improve the urban traffic efficiency without using detailed origin-destination (OD) information. However, similar to MFD, 3D-MFD is also highly affected by the heterogeneity of a road network. In order to form 3D-MFDs with low scatter to be utilized for further bi-modal traffic management, this paper proposes a partition method to cluster road links into several homogeneous regions for a bi-modal urban network. It is comprised of three layers named as initial partition, merging, and boundary adjusting. At the initial partition layer, Seeded Region Growing (SRG) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are integrated to obtain a number of subregions. A modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed to merge the subregions into larger regions at the merging layer. Then, boundary adjusting is performed by changing the region to which a boundary is clustered to optimize the result. Multi-sensor data collected from Shenzhen in China are utilized to verify the effectiveness of the proposed partition method.
