Abstract
During off-peak periods in suburban districts, the bus usually has a large departure interval, and the information of transportation demand and supply is asymmetric, which causes inefficiencies of travel and bus operation. To solve the above problem, this paper proposes a real-time response bus system for non-commuter demands using a mixed-strategy departure condition. The bus dispatching system first selects the buses that have positive benefit combined with heuristic shortest path algorithm and responsive judgement function, then makes bus plans according to estimated buses arrival time and assigns a response bus according to passengers’ selection plan. Finally, this paper takes bus 396 in Chongqing as a case study and verifies the feasibility of a real-time response bus system. The results show that passengers’ waiting time could be reduced by more than 50% when the departure interval increases by 30%, a gain for the bus companies.
