A Transit Route Network Design Problem Considering Equity
As concerns about environmental quality, social equity, and economic efficiency are increasing, efforts on improving the sustainability of public transportation are being made all over the world. This study aims to propose a transit route network design problem that considers modal and spatial equities. The equities are accommodated by using two indexes that can simultaneously reflect mobility and accessibility. A decision-making process for designing a transit route network consists of the selection of the target line, selection of the target node, the determination of an alternative line, and the implementation of a procedure for setting frequency. The model is configured through bi-level modeling based on an iterative process to calculate the modal split and the traffic and transit assignments with changes in the transit route network. While the frequency of each line is determined by a genetic algorithm in the upper model, the modal split and traffic and transit assignments are implemented in the lower model. This transit route network design model and the associated algorithms are applied to a sample network. As a result, an improved solution with equity and the lower total cost is identified based on a comparison with the existing transit route network.
