Research Abstract |
Many of the bus networks in the big cities all over the world is not necessity efficient. One of the inefficient situation is the "bunching effect" where several buses is aggregated, which causes reduction of actual frequency. Therefore, in order to realise a efficient bus network in the big cities, this study proposed two types of model; the first one is a transit assignment model considering the correlation between vehicles' arrival at stops, and the second one is a model for simultaneously deciding the transit network configuration and frequency considering the passengers' behaviour more accurately. Furthermore, the latter model was applied to Hiroshima bus network.
