Construction of An Urban Bus Departure Interval Model Considering Passenger Crowding
A city bus departure interval model considering passenger congestion is proposed to optimize the operation and management of publictransportationenterprises.Thenumber of passengers getting onandoff at each stationcollect-ed by the passenger flow collector was used to analyze the distribution pattern of passenger flow and the distribution pat-tern of congestion inside the carriage during different operating periods;A departure interval model was constructed with departure interval as the decision variable,passenger congestion cost,station waiting cost,and bus enterprise operating cost as the objectives,full load rate and departure interval threshold as constraints.Finally,taking a bus route in Xi'an as an example,the feasibility of the model was verified.The results show that under this model,the comprehensive cost of passengers and public transportation enterprises decreased by 2.59%.
