Bus Stop Location Under Different Levels of Network Congestion and Elastic Demand / Autobuso Stotelės Nuotolio Nustatymas Skirtingais Transporto Grūsties Atvejais Reguliuojant Poreikius / Определение Места Автобусной Остановки При Разных Уровнях Транспортного Затора С Целью Регулирования Потребностей

Abstract: The article analyses optimal bus stop locations under different network congestion levels applying a bi-level optimisation model, covering an upper level minimizing an overall cost function (Social Cost) and a lower level that includes a modal split assignment model. This model is applied to Santander city (Spain) under a range of demand levels, starting from very low to high congestion, representing the evolution of variables in each case and analysing different solutions. The optimal distances between stops … Show more

“…The bi-level programming model is often used to optimize bus stop spacing. The objective function of the top-level programming model is to minimize the total cost incurred to passenger and bus operators while for the lower level, the problem of bus traffic assignment is addressed [26][27][28][29]. To minimize the total residence time at stops and the number of bus stops required for efficient operations, a bi-objective optimization model has been proposed by Chen et al; furthermore, the issues of stop congestion and its effect on road traffic flow has also been considered in the model.…”

“…These studies have found that when the demand is high, the two variables of bus demand and stop placing are independent; however, stop placing and line length are negatively correlated [25]. Alonso et al assume that the departure frequency is constant, and the results from their model also indicate a negative correlation between stop placing and bus trip frequency [28]. In contrast, an opposing conclusion can be drawn-that when bus fleet size is a given, there is a positive correlation between stop spacing and bus trip volume [15].…”

“…Some studies have been conducted on the stop location of a conventional bus system. Alonso et al [25] and Moura et al [26] use a bi-level optimization model to obtain optimal bus stop locations on a macroscopic scale. Their model considers user cost and operator cost; however, the maximum walking distance of passengers is ignored.…”
