In recent years, mass rapid transit (MRT) systems will dominate thedevelopment of modern urban metropolitan areas in Taiwans. Since theconstruction cost of MRT systems is enormous, the operational integration withother modes such as city bus system becomes very important. It would benefitboth the operators and users and help achieve efficient urban transportation andhealthy cities in general. In this research, analytic models are developed foroptimizing feeder bus services with time dependence and elasticity in theirdemand characteristics. By analyzing the operational integration plans, one canobtain the relationships between decision variables and system parameters bycomparing MRT operating characteristics with those of feeder bus systems. It ishoped that this study will contribute to a better understanding of theapplications of operational integration in the context of mass rapid transitsystem. This should be helpful in achieving more efficient public transportsystems and developing multimodal integration model. |
