Bus stops represent a key bottleneck that supply loading area for buses to service the passengers, this paper focus on the relationship between bus stop accumulative capacity and parking demand, and provides analytical methodology to measure the probability that bus stop accumulative capacity meet parking demand, which is defined as parking capacity reliability in this paper. Bus arrivals and departs at a multi-routes bus stop is considered as the birth and death process, In view of co-ordination of supply and demand, we establish the parking capacity reliability model for multi-routes bus stop with multi-parking spaces, and based on the sensitivity analysis of parameters, this paper further discuss how the available parking space, average parking time as well as amount of bus lines impact on bus stop parking capacity reliability, aiming at providing essential reference for bus stop design and optimization. Finally, the model is applied to evaluate the operational situation of an actual bus stop in Chongqing, China, and methods for improvement are put forward based on the analysis.
