Research on Evaluation Index System of Urban Bus and Trolleybus Line Network

Abstract

Public transport is an important part of urban development and management. Urban bus and trolleybus are parts of urban public transport and one of the most basic modes of travel provided by the government for the public, which are related to the immediate interests of the public. Urban bus and trolleybus network is the layout of bus and trolleybus on the road network. The more reasonable the bus network layout is, the higher the service level of bus and trolleybus will be. However, there are few researches on the evaluation of bus and trolleybus line network in China at present, a systematic evaluation index system has not yet been established, which makes it difficult to systematically and effectively evaluate the line network. In this paper, the evaluation indexes suitable for each city are selected from the perspective of the performance of bus and trolleybus line network and the bus and trolleybus operation effect to establish an evaluation index system of bus and trolleybus line network, including 11 indexes. At the same time, the paper gives the recommended collection method of each index, such as GIS, big data of bus credit card and electronic payment. The research results provide a reference for the planning, construction and management of bus and trolleybus, and provide a basis for improving the urban bus and trolley bus service and urban management.
