Issues Related to Transit Network Design Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Public Transit (P. T) is very important means to reduce traffic congestions, to improve urban environmental conditions and consequently affects people social lives. Planning, designing and management of P. T are the key issues for offering a competitive mode that can compete with the private transportation. These transportation planning, designing and management issues are addressed in the Transit Network Design Problem (TNDP). It deals with a complete hierarchy of decision making process. It includes strategic, tactical and operational decisions. The main body of TNDP is two stages, namely; route design stage and frequency setting. The TNDP is extensively studied in the last five decades; however the research gate is still widely open due to its many practical and modeling challenges. In this paper, a comprehensive back-ground is given to illustrate the issues and challenges related to the TNDP to help in directing the incoming researches towards the untouched areas of the problem

Design a Bus Transit Network is an important problem of the Urban Management. There are a large number of variables that must be considered to design a bus transit network. These variables are used to reach a set of goals such as accessibility, maximum coverage, reduction of waiting time and decrease operational costs and number of transfer between line stops. Design a Bus Transit Network is NP...
متن کاملMulti-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...

In this paper, a novel multi-objective bus stop location model is proposed, which considers not only the coverage of demand and minimization of access time but also the necessities of suitable stops for transit network design phase. Three objective functions are considered including minimizing (I) sum of the total access distance (time), (II) the weighted combination of stops, and (III) the num...
