Coordinated Optimization of Bus Headways for Passenger Corridors

Passenger corridors carry high-density passenger volumes and they are intensive superposition sections of passenger OD demands in the transit network. In order to balance supply and demand distribution between different bus routes on the same passenger corridor, the optimization methodology of headways need be studied. This paper set up a bus coordination dispatching model for passenger corridors and then applied GA as the optimizing algorithm. A real case study was given to illustrate the application of the methodology and the results show that the model and algorithm are feasible and effective.
