Dispatching control at transfer stations in multi‐hub transit networks

摘要: Among dispatching control approaches, the holding option has attracted most attention in bus control. However, a vehicle at transfer station may exacerbate delays because more passengers might accumulate downstream stations and also affect other connecting routes stations. Our problem is to minimize total costs of ready vehicles each along coordinated multi-hub transit network. The include waiting cost for on-board passengers, missed connection late arrival subject possible We develop heuristic algorithm optimize times based on real time information about vehicles. results show that should be held longer when variances are small or many expected.
