“…Hence, enhanced methods were proposed which optimize transit route together with aforementioned factors [16][17][18][19]. Although the methods have been enhanced, there are still problems: (1) the access cost from real origin (e.g., home or school) to its corresponding feeder bus stop was ignored when assuming that demands are centered on feeder bus stops (nodes) [17,18,[20][21][22][23][24]; (2) locations of feeder bus stops are fixed [25,26]; (3) feeder buses must reach all predetermined stops without considering real-time demand information [11,18,27]. They imply a large room for improvement.…”

This research proposed a feeder bus dispatching tool that reduces rides' effort to reach a feeder bus. The dispatching tool takes in real-time user specific request information and optimizes total cost accordingly (passenger access time cost and transit operation cost) by choosing the best pick-up locations and feeder buses' routes. The pick-up locations are then transmitted back to passengers along with GPS guidance. The tool fits well with the Advanced Traveler Information Services (ATIS) which is one of the six highpriority dynamic mobility application bundles currently being promoted by the United State Department of Transportation. The problem is formulated into a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model. For small networks, out-of-the-shelf commercial solvers could be used for finding the optimal solution. For large networks, this research developed a GA-based metaheuristic solver which generates reasonably good solutions in a much shorter time. The proposed tool is evaluated on a real-world network in the vicinity of Jiandingpo metro station in Chongqing, China. The results demonstrated that the proposed ATIS tool reduces both buses operation cost and passenger walking distance. It is also able to significantly bring down computation time from more than 1 hour to about 1 min without sacrificing too much on solution optimality.

Evaluación de la equidad del servicio de transporte público: El caso de Palma de Mallorca

et al. 2017

RESUMENLa planificación sostenible del transporte público requiere la consideración de la equidad territorial y social. El análisis de la equidad precisa de un profundo conocimiento del servicio así como de las características territoriales y sociales dónde se implanta. En este artículo se propone un método simplificado para el análisis de la equidad del sistema de autobuses públicos, aplicado a la ciudad de Palma. El nivel de servicio se calcula a partir del análisis territorial de la oferta, y se contrasta con la población existente y con un índice multidimensional de necesidad social de transporte público, dando lugar a la equidad horizontal y vertical, respectivamente. Posteriormente, se verifica la equidad global del servicio con el apoyo de la curva de Lorenz y del coeficiente GINI. Finalmente, se realiza un análisis de sensibilidad a través de la frecuencia de las rutas de autobús en relación a la equidad social del servicio.

And Solution Method to a Simultaneous Route Design and Frequency Setting Problem for a Bus Rapid Transit System in Colombia

2017

ABSTRACT. We propose a model and solution method to a simultaneous route design and frequency setting problem on a main corridor from one of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Systems of Colombia. The proposed model considers objectives of users and operators in a combinatorial multi-objective optimization framework and takes into account real constraints on the operation of some Colombian BRT systems not found in previous models. The problem is solved heuristically by a Genetic Algorithm which is tailored from an existing work, to consider specific characteristics of the real scenario. The methodology is validated with current data from one of the most important bus corridors in a Colombian BRT system. The results obtained improve the current solutions for this corridor.
