Research of Urban Bus Stop Planning Based on Optimization Theory

According to the difficulty of urban bus stop planning, a method which is based on optimization theory is introduced. First, the minimum passengerspsila total traveling time model base on the shortest stop distance is adopted to calculate the optimum stop distance and determine the number of bus stops. Then, the bus stop coverage rate model is used to predict the development scale of urban bus stop. Finally, based on a comprehensive analysis of these two models, the rational development scale of urban bus stop is determined. The method has been applied in Zhanjiangpsilas public traffic planning, the experiment shows that the method is brief and easy, it has some real work significance to public traffic planning.
