Community Bus Route Planning Based on Metro Short-Range Trips Analysis
Publication: ICTE 2019
ABSTRACT
As the last part of urban public transport, community bus serves for the last part of trips. Aimed to share the pressure of high-flow-density metro section and provide short-walk-distance server for remote districts that away from metro stations, this paper analyzed the time/space distribution of trips that travel short than 4 sections in the metro net based on metro AFC data (Nanjing) on weekdays/weekends/vacations. Result shows that the time/space distribution varies different among different type of days. Based on the analysis, this paper raised a heuristic route plan method for community bus that aimed to replace the metros. Using metro data and minimize the sum of travel time cost and operating cost, method finally get the route/station/gap of community bus, and the real data of Nanjing is applied to the method. The research results of this paper will provide important method support for the construction of urban public transport.
