Abstract
This paper develops a new model, aiming to maximize the efficiency of bus rapid transit (BRT) system (i.e. maximize direct-through travelers on unit length of BRT route). Since the problem is NP-hard, a heuristic algorithm, based on ant colony optimization, is developed. With a numerical test from Dalian City, China, the effectiveness of the model and the algorithm is examined.
