Optimization Design of Multiple Services for Urban Bus Corridor With Genetic Algorithm

Abstract:

Based on the urban transportation demand of bus corridor, this paper studies the optimization design of multiple services with urban transit. For the operation characteristics of bus lines, the optimization model of minimum costs in terms of waiting time, invehicle travel time and operator cost is developed with genetic algorithm(GA). An application of the model to the case of No.737 bus line in Shanghai shows that the optimization model is practical and effective for satisfying the demand of passengers and improving the operating efficiency of bus transit system.
