Abstract | Public transit is a very profitable and competitive industry in Hong Kong and the passengers’ route
choice and mode choice behavior will be significantly influenced by the level of services provided,
thus it is crucial for the transit operators to determine their frequency, route and fare structure
in order to maximize their own profit. In this paper a bi-level model is developed to optimize
the route structure, frequency setting and fare structure simultaneously. The upper level problem
is to maximize the operator’s profit while the lower level problem is an approach-based SUEED
transit assignment model. An artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed to solve determine
the route structure and a sensitivity analysis-based algorithm is proposed to find out the optimal
frequency and fare settings. Numerical examples with discussions will be presented to investigate
the behavior of the model and to examine the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Comparison
on three different fare structures, i.e., flat fare, distance based fare and sectional fare is made. |
