Model and software-based solution for implementing coordinated timed-transfer passenger transport system

Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. For a number of users, transfers are an unavoidable aspect of travel, irrespective of the public transport network quality. Transfer time not only extend the journey time, but also affect service quality. That is especially expressed on low-frequency lines. Implementation of timed transfer system (TTS) on low-frequency lines reduces temporal losses to acceptable limits. Transport network type, transport hub location, uneven transport demand across routes, performance differentials among subsystems and variable vehicle capacities further hinder the already complex TTS design. This work presents the procedure and software for efficient alignment of static and dynamic elements of coordinated lines in the process of establishing a TTS for chosen public transport network lines.
