Abstract:
Stop spacing is key design variable in urban public transport networks. It determines both the travel time for the passengers and the costs for the operator. Stop spacing influences the average speed of a public transport vehicle, the access distance and thus the access time. Focusing from stop spacing, the paper provides optimization method of public transport in three aspects: passengers, operators and authorities. It presents some multi-objective optimized models, that is minimizing weighted travel time of passengers, maximizing the cost effectiveness of operators and maximizing social welfare. These methods and models will offer a certain theoretic basis to the design and decision of public transport network and its stop spacing.
