The management of public transport for rebalancing the use of transportation systems is a useful tool for reducing negative externalities without excessively affecting zone accessibility. In this context, a rail or metro system can be a key element for producing a high-quality supply of public transport. Obviously, due to the great vulnerability of rail technology to system failures, it is necessary to develop suitable tools to identify rapidly, even with off-line procedures, the best operational strategies which minimise user discomfort produced by such failures. Hence, our proposal is to extend previous models proposed in the literature by considering travel demand as an outcome of a random variable and not only in terms of average values. The proposed approach is applied in the case of a real dimension metro network, considering a wider class of failure contexts.

“…Finally, the combination of the algorithm proposed in this paper (which allows mass-transit networks to be simulated) with that proposed by D'Acierno et al [1] (which allows simulation of private car networks) could be used to develop multimodal assignment algorithms based on Ant Colony Optimisation, whose good performance could be exploited to speed up the search for solutions to complex problems such as the bus assignment problem in the urban context (D'Acierno et al [15]), the urban freight distribution problem (D'Acierno et al [16]), the multimodal design problem (Montella et al [17]; D'Acierno et al [18]), and the analysis of the AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) data problem (D'Acierno et al [19]). …”

In this paper, we propose an ACO-based algorithm that can be used to simulate mass-transit networks; this algorithm imitates the behaviour of public transport users. In particular, we show that the proposed algorithm, which is an extension of that proposed by D'Acierno et al. (A stochastic traffic assignment algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimisation, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4150, pp. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] 2006), allows mass-transit systems to be simulated in less time but with the same accuracy compared with traditional assignment algorithms. Finally, we state theoretically the perfect equivalence in terms of hyperpath choice behaviour between artificial ants (simulated with the proposed algorithm) and mass-transit users (simulated with traditional assignment algorithms).
