DEMAND BUS SYSTEM FOR TSUKUBA SCIENCE CITY AND ITS SIMULATION STUDY

摘要: Abstract A demand bus system for Tsukuba Science City is considered with simulation. The fully computerized. Customers input demands at stops, and buses receive allocating information from stops by weak wave, which computed based on in a control center. Between the center transmitted through telephone lines. Simulation conducted tracing events - generation, allocation to pickup delivery of passengers each discretized time. heuristic algorithm applied, new type performance index proposed optimize system. Relations parameters (number number buses) characteristics (customers' level service, wait time so on) under steady state are obtained. results obtained capacity upper limits service give basic data design Validity shown comparison an optimized fixed-route
