Bus Rapid Transit Networks Optimization Model

A new set of criteria were proposed to decide whether the public transit resources were distributed equally around a certain area based on the appraisal architectures of previous researches.Travelers' travel strategies were taken into account under given OD.An optimization model for BRT line design was presented under the circumstances of current public transit system including bus,metro,and light-rail.Finally,the model was tested through a numerical example,in which an compound algorithm of the Genetic and PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)were adopted to solve the model.
