Application of path based line planning in public bus transport

Stefan Schneider (2013): Application of path based line planning in public bus transport

http://euro2013.org/wp-content/uploads/program-euro26.pdf

We present a report of the implementation of a customer path based line planning tool for regional bus line planning in Upper Austria. The challenge was to identify an approach that was able to consider both collected demand data, composed of source and destination addresses from over 50 000 pupils and commuters, as well as a given minimal ba- sic coverage. We give a comparison of a MIP-based formulation and a metaheuristic approach, regarding the computability and the practical- ity as judged by experts from the traffic association.
