The multi-objective optimization algorithm to a simple model of urban transit routing problem

The urban transit routing problem (UTRP) is broadly discussed currently, searching for better models and algorithms to make our public transportation reasonable and efficient. In this paper, firstly, conducts a brief review of the UTRP research already done in the past decades. Then a multi-objective optimization model which consisted of the perspectives of both passengers and operators is promoted for the study. Simple Multi-Objective Optimization (SMO) algorithm is used to obtain the optimal results of the promoted model applied to a simple urban transit network. And finally the optimal results are compared with previous accomplishments based on some parameters defined in the evaluation procedure.
