Research Abstract |
In this study, analytic models are developed for optimizing circular route bus (Community Bus) services with elasticity in their demand characteristics. The demand function include the wait time (running interval time), service time, travel time, access time and fare. The optimization objective is maximum social welfare. The social welfare consists of the consumer surplus and the total profit. The application of this model is confirmed by using the actual road network in Nagano city. The model is used to perform simulation experiments, and to analyze the characteristics of the optimal running interval time and fare. In the inter-modality problem, we clarified the relation between the consumers' shop-around behaviors and mode-choice behaviors in the city center of Nagano City. In Kanazawa City and Nagano City, P&BR System is carried out in a succession of holiday begining of May. We studied on providing traffic information for increasing to P&BR System user in scenic area, especially we paid attension to the method of providing information, type of information and the object of providing. We analized the relation between the user generic character and using this system using by discriminant analysis and linear regression model
