“…Accordingly, a bi-objective function was designed to solve the bus-routing problem with maximum trip compatibility and minimum total travel time. In comparison with the traditional single-load solving algorithm, this method improved the total efficiency by approximately 25% (Shafahi et al, 2018). Eguizábal et al (2018) divided SBRP into two sub-problems: bus route generation and bus fleet planning.…”

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature mapping for shuttle bus routing in different functional application areas. For this purpose, articles which were published in the last 20 years were systematically reviewed. Selected papers related to the topic were classified by their publication year, type of publication, solution approach, application area, usage of mathematical model and objective function. The existing articles were reviewed based on their functional application areas of employee/personnel, patient/hospital, students, elderly/disabled, and airport shuttles. The results of our analysis indicate that there has been an increasing movement in the usage of shuttle bus routing models through the recent years. This study therefore identifies this increasing attention to the topic as well as recent trends, and highlights research opportunities and literature gaps for future research.Bu makale servis otobüsü rotalama modellerinin farklı uygulama alanlarında yapılmış olan çalışmalara ilişkin kapsamlı bir literatür haritalaması sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla son 20 yılda yayımlanan makaleler sistematik olarak gözden geçirilmiştir. Konu ile ilgili seçilen makaleler, yayın türü, yayın yılı, çözüm yöntemi, uygulama alanı, matematiksel model kullanımı ve amaç fonksiyonlarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Literatürde yer alan çalışmalar çalışan/personel, hasta/hastane, öğrenci, yaşlı/engelli ve havaalanı servisleri şeklinde ayrılmış olan fonksiyonel uygulama alanlarında ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonuçlarımız son yıllarda servis otobüsü rotalama konusunda yayımlanan modellerin kullanımlarında artış eğilimi olduğunu göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma son yıllarda konuya dair artan ilgiyi ve yeni araştırma alanlarını işaret ederek, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalar için araştırma fırsatlarını ve alandaki literatür boşluklarını vurgulamaktadır.

“…The STM generally consists of a list of tabu rules which exist for a set tenure before being dropped from the tabu list. Hybrids of the two algorithms have been shown in a number of recent combinatorial optimization studies to perform better than pure TS or SA alone [1,2,31,47].…”

We present a flexible public transit network design model which optimizes a social access objective while guaranteeing that the system's costs and transit times remain within a preset margin of their current levels. The purpose of the model is to find a set of minor, immediate modifications to an existing bus network that can give more communities access to the chosen services while having a minimal impact on the current network's operator costs and user costs. Design decisions consist of reallocation of existing resources in order to adjust line frequencies and capacities. We present a hybrid tabu search/simulated annealing algorithm for the solution of this optimization-based model. As a case study we apply the model to the problem of improving equity of access to primary health care facilities in the Chicago metropolitan area. The results of the model suggest that it is possible to achieve better primary care access equity through reassignment of existing buses and implementation of express runs, while leaving overall service levels relatively unaffected.
