Abstract

This study presents a multi-objective optimization model for the urban electric transit network design problem by simultaneously determining the set of transit routes, the service frequency and the location of charging depots with the objectives of minimizing the costs for passengers and operators. The constraints about the bus route, charging depot, vehicle operation and charging schedule are considered to ensure the rational design and operational feasibility of the electric transit network. The solution approach is based on a Pareto artificial fish swarm algorithm (PAFSA) in combination with the crossover and mutation operators. The transit network in an urban region of Beijing is studied in a case study, revealing that the proposed optimization model solved by the PAFSA is able to provide the Pareto optimal solutions to design a relatively large-scaled transit network for the best fits between the passengers and operators.
