Sustainability, Vol. 11, Pages 5144: Combinational Scheduling Model Considering Multiple Vehicle Sizes (Sustainability)
 


Urban public transport is an effective way to solve urban traffic problems and promote sustainable development of urban traffic. A scientific operation scheduling system has an important guiding significance for optimizing the configuration of urban public transport capacity resources, improving the level of operation organization and management, and providing for the sustainability of the transportation system. According to the inhomogeneous distribution of passenger flow along transit lines, this study develops a combinational scheduling model in which the enterprise supplies zonal service based on regular service. The objective function minimizes the sum of passenger travel cost and operation cost, and the simulated annealing algorithm is designed to solve the optimization model. This paper abstracts an ideal example by taking a real-world case of Bus Line 131 in Lanzhou, China. The numerical example is used to verify the validity of the model and algorithm. Results show that the combinational operation scheme can effectively satisfy passengers’ demand and reduce the total cost by 7.03% in comparison with the regular operation system. The optimal combinational system with the lowest total cost can increase the vehicle load factor and improve the utilization ratio.
