Abstract:The idea of corporate social responsibility has promoted bus operation agencies to rethink how to provide not only efficient but also environmentally friendly services for residents. A study on the potential of using an optimized design of skip-stop services, one of the essential operational strategies in practice, to reduce emissions is conducted in this paper. The underlying scheduling problem is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem with the primary objective of optimizing the total costs for both passengers and operating agencies, as well as with the secondary objective of minimizing bus emissions. A solution method is developed to solve the problem. A real-world case of Route 16 in Beijing is studied, in which the optimal scheduling strategy that maximizes the cost savings and environmental benefits is determined. The costs and emissions of the proposed scheduling strategy are compared with the optimal scheduling with skip-stop services without considering bus emissions. The results show that the proposed scheduling strategy outperforms the other operating strategy with respect to operational costs and bus emissions. A sensitivity study is then conducted to investigate the impact of the fleet size in operations and passenger demand on the effectiveness of the proposed stop-skipping strategy considering bus emissions.

In many transit systems, operators use skip-stop strategies to reduce travel time of particular train services by not stopping (skipping) at less densely populated stations. This decision of omitting some stops reduces the travel time for the users within the vehicle and increases the speed of operation, favouring the provision of new transit services where are more necessary. In this work, the best A/b stop-skip patterns for a set of transit services along a railway corridor are determined by means a three-phase methodology that includes the formulation of a nonlinear integer programming inspired in the multiple knapsack problem and the application of a heuristic algorithm based on mathematical properties (matheuristic).

“…Tan et al [5] deal with the urban rail train stop schedule problem in order to better serve the transport demand. It presents a bilevel modelling similarly to Niu [3] but mathematic programming model with a game theory relation between the two levels differently. It presents an example of ChongQing urban rail line 2 in Chinese urban railway by using the solution approach.…”

This paper addresses recent restoration of skip-stop operation in the Korean urban railway. Most urban railways in Korea were constructed without consideration of skip-stop operation as many other foreign urban railways. The Korean government had been requested to improve service quality, especially in operational speed, and it announced a policy to restore skip-stop operation for the urban railway lines. This paper presents roles of a central government for restoration of skip-stop operation. Besides leading by research and development side in technical solutions, the roles of the government are very important to implement the restoration. As examples of government's roles, this paper addresses Korean government's recent policy to restore the skip-stop operations.
