What is problematic, however, is that the traditional bus system is laden with negative incentives and problems that will most likely impede Transmilenio from covering the entire city let alone advance beyond its looming third stage. Worse still, these negative incentives translate into low-quality service, bus oversupply, and paradoxically high fares for most riders. This paper analyzes Bogotá...

In this paper a new approach using Harmony Search (HS) algorithm is presented for placing Distributed Generators (DGs) in radial distribution systems. HS is used for multiple objective planning, to evaluate the DG placement and sizing by considering the power losses and voltage profile as objective functions. HS is operated on 12bus, 15-bus and 33-bus radial distribution system(RDS). Obtained r...

Route bus system is fundamental transportation device for aged people, and have important role in every province. However passengers decreases year by year. Therefore we have developed the shortest path searching system called “BUS-NET” to sustain the public transport. Here, generation of timetables is picked up. In general, it is considered as very simple problem, however the route bus system ...

Bus dispatching has been studied, and also the bus dispatching model is set up. Then, Genetic Algorithm is adaptively improved in order to avoid premature problem and the slow convergence, and then the keeping optimal strategy is used to the Genetic Algorithm, so formed the Improved Adaptive Genetic Algorithm,namely IAGA. Finally, the IAGA is used to optimizing the bus dispatching model, and th...

background: the physical and psychological health of bus drivers is a critical factor in public driving performance. any impairment can have dire consequences for passengers and the company. thus, research on the mental health status of public bus drivers is a critical issue in reducing road accidents, decreasing passengers’ injuries, and ensuring the safety of the operation. materials and meth...

A bus is a collection of one or more wires. A bus is called a multiplex-bus when it is shared by a number of devices. There are many applications of a multiplex-bus. For example, a microprocessor-based measurement system may use a bus (say IEEE-488, VME, etc.) to interconnect a number o f microprocessor-based instruments, e.g., voltmeter, ammeter, data acquisition devices, etc. All the automobi...

The school bus routing and scheduling problem deals with the transportation of pupils from home to school in the morning and from school to home in the evening. It is a problem in public transportation and differs from typical vehicle routing problems in several aspects, as for example pointed out in [6]. Variants of this problem are often studied in literature. A comprehensive overview of exis...

Visually impaired people have difficulty accessing information about public transportation systems. Several systems have been developed for assisting visually impaired and blind people to use the city bus. Most systems provide only one-way communication and require high-cost and complex equipment. The purpose of this study is to reduce the difficulties faced by visually impaired people when tak...

The planning and managing of bus networks as a urban public transport system is a relevant problem. Several proposals focus the planning of new bus networks. In this paper, we focus the speci c task of reallocating buses from di erent lines of a previously planned bus network in case of restrictions, such as vehicle breakdowns and drivers absences. Our proposal uses a fuzzy decision tree, which...
