Study on Connection Optimization of Last Train Departure Time on Urban Mass Transit Network

Abstract:

The operation and management of urban mass transit network put forward higher requirements for last trains‘ transfer connection. Based on the analysis of coordination relationship and timeliness of accessible routes, this paper puts forward a dynamic passenger volume distribution method according to the generalized travel cost. Then the connection optimization model of last train departure time is built to increase accessible passenger volume and reduce passengers’ transfer waiting time of all OD pairs for last trains. Finally, the validity and rationality of this model and algorithm is verified with numerical analysis.
