An Urban Bus Network Design Procedure

Abstract

This paper describes a coordinated process to configure a bus transit network with its set of lines and frequencies using heuristic approaches. In this context, the planning procedure consists of the following phases: in the first phase, the main skeleton of the network of the public transport system, not articulated in lines, is defined through heuristic procedures based on the demand matrix and the road network, integrated by “fixed supply” such as underground, urban railways, and those transit lines identified by Authority and located on the road network as fixed links with characteristics constant with flows; in the second and third phases the lines of main and feeder networks are designed respectively. In regard to this classification, the 2 phases are applied to define express lines initially, and subsequently main, in which express lines become “fixed supply” for following main lines design. This model has been applied to the Public Transit Network Design of the city of Rome, Italy. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
