Abstract This paper provides alternative methods for constructing bus timetables using passenger load data. It attempts to fulfill six major objectives: to evaluate alternative timetables in terms of required resources; to improve the correspondence of bus departure times with passenger demand; to provide alternative timetables for the schedulers' use in specific scheduling situations; to permit direct bus frequency changes for possible exceptions (known to the schedulers) which do not rely on passenger demand data; to allow the construction of timetables with headway smoothing techniques (similar to that performed manually); and to integrate different headway setting and different timetable construction methods. The procedures developed set the bus departure times for the case of evenly spaced headways and for the case of allowing the headways to be unevenly spaced. In the first case, smoothing techniques are developed in the transition segments between adjacent time periods. In the second case, the departure times are shifted so as to obtain uniform average loads instead of even headways. The final product of the research consists of a set of computer programs which are tested on a heavy bus line in Los Angeles.
