Bus systems involve complex bus-bus and bus-passengers interactions. We study the problem of assigning buses to bus stops minimise average waiting time passengers, W. An analytical theory for two specific cases interactions is formulated: normal situation where all board passengers from every stop, versus novel express disjoint subsets non-interacting serve stops. Our formulation allows exact c...

The Surabaya City Government seeks to provide adequate public transportation such as the Bus. current condition on Gunung Anyar - Kenjeran route is that there no intermodal connectivity, so it hoped connectivity will increase demand for buses operating route. For this reason, research was conducted plan Microbus Stop a stop location if be used feeder Bus and determine range of services meet nee...

Long in-vehicle travel times resulting from frequent stops make bus service an unattractive choice for many commuters. Limited-stop bus services however have the advantage of shorter in-vehicle times experienced by passengers. In this work, we seek to modify a given bus service by optimally reassigning some number of bus trips, as opposed to providing additional trips, to operate a limited-stop...

Preliminary communication In recent years, the mini-bus service has gained a rapid development, while the reasonable stop spacing is significant to improve residents’ travel efficiency. In order to locate the mini-bus stops practically, this paper firstly proposes a mathematical model based on Voronoi Diagrams to minimize residents’ total travel time. Improved Wilson-Han-Powell Sequential Quadr...

In recent years, express bus service has come into the spotlight by overcoming slow bus operating speeds while maintaining its accessibility when it operates with local bus services. This study developed an optimal limited-stop bus routes selection (LSBRS) guideline as a scenario-based analysis and compared it with case study results. Smart card data and a genetic algorithm (GA) were used to de...

This paper proposes a method to acquire linguistic features from a corpus of short sentences by extracting analogous sentences like what ’s the next station ? : where ’s the bus station ? :: what is the next stop ? : where is the bus stop ? The procedures used to construct clusters of analogous sentences are presented. Experiments performed on roughly 40,000 short sentences from the tourism dom...

Bus network design is an important problem in public transportation. A main step to this design is determining the number of required terminals and their locations. This is a special type of facility location problem, which is a time-consuming, large scale, combinatorial problem. In a previous attempt by the authors, this problem had been solved by GAMS, based on a branch and bound algorithm. ...
