Coordinated Operation Model between Urban Rail and Bus Systems Considering Transportation Efficiency

摘要

The coordinated operations of urban rail and bus systems are an important part of an integrated mass transit system. This paper takes the transfer system consisting of rail and bus as the research object. The costs of the system including enterprise cost and passenger cost are analyzed. Taking headway as the optimization variables, we analyze its impact on passenger and the relationship between it and system cost. Considering transportation efficiency, a schedule coordination model between urban rail and bus is established, and its aim is to minimize the total cost consists of enterprise cost and passengers cost and maximize transportation efficiency by optimizing transit schedule parameters. At the same time, a solution is proposed to the optimal model. The validity of the model is verified by an empirical analysis. The result shows that the implementation of schedule coordination can increase the enterprise operation efficiency and benefit of passengers.
