Development of a methodology for optimizing the urban route in the metropolitan area

Abstract

One of the urgent tasks is to determine the composition of the bus fleet to serve each route. At the same time, it is necessary to be able to vary the type and number of buses that have different technical characteristics, in this regard, in the framework of the study, the issues of optimizing bus movement modes on city routes were considered. Basically, on the city route network, buses stop at all stopping points. However, quite often there is a situation when there is a sufficiently large unevenness of passenger traffic at various stopping points. In this regard, design schemes for analyzing the effectiveness of combined and shortened routes are proposed. Key relationships include empirical estimates of passenger flows. The parameters of the models are the volume of the bus fleet, the irregular production of buses, the probability of a denied boarding at individual stopping points.
