Publication: ICTE 2011
Abstract
With the number of tourists increasing every year, there is a huge traffic pressure in Mount Emei scenic, so do the traffic jams and tourists stranded become increasing prominent in the area, which has become the bottleneck in Mount Emei's tourism development. Faced with the growing number of tourists, choosing the right mode of transport organization and rapidly transporting tourists is the key to improve the traffic situation. Based on the investigation and analysis of Mount Emei's traffic situation, using transportation planning theory and combined with operations research methods, established the linear optimization model of tourist bus operation plan whose target is minimize the total traffic time that tourists cost in the scenic. And using the simplex search method to obtain the optimal solution of the model, it is based on practical parameters which got from the surveys.
