Advanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation A PROCEDURE FOR THE SOLUTION OF THE URBAN BUS NETWORK DESIGN PROBLEM WITH ELASTIC DEMAND

چکیده
In the last years, the sensitive increase of congestion phenomena in the urban areas has produced important changes for the role reserved to the public transport. This should become the main tool to solve urban transport problem. Critical phase for the planning of the public transport system is the network design problem (determination of routes and associated frequencies). This step may affect the performance of the system for the users and the successive planning steps involving the operator costs (bus and driver scheduling). In this paper, authors propose a solving procedure for the urban bus network design problem that explicitly takes into account the elasticity of the demand.

Multi-perspective Decision Support System for Hierarchical Bus Transportation Network Design: Tehran Case Study
In this paper, a multi-perspective decision support system (MP-DSS) to design hierarchical public transportation network is developed. Since this problem depends on different perspectives, MP-DSS consists of two sub-systems with macro and micro sub-systems based on travel information, land use and expert knowledge. In the micro sub-system, two sub-modules are developed considering o...

متن کاملDesign of a Bi-Objective Capacitated Single-Allocation Incomplete Hub Network Considering an Elastic Demand
This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...

In many practical distribution networks, managers face significant uncertainties in demand, local price of building facilities, transportation cost, and macro and microeconomic parameters. This paper addresses design of distribution networks in a supply chain system which optimizes the performance of distribution networks subject to required service level. This service level, which is consider...
متن کاملA New School Bus Routing Problem Considering Gender Separation, Special Students and Mix Loading: A Genetic Algorithm Approach
In developing countries, whereas the urban bus network is a major part of public transportation system, it is necessary to try to find the best design and routing for bus network. Optimum design of school bus routes is very important. Non-optimal solutions for this problem may increase traveling time, fuel consumption, and depreciation rate of the fleet. A new bus routing problem is presented i...
