Bus Model with a Rectangular Service Zone Revisit

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of a bus model with rectangular service zones and the development of a new approach to find the criterion in which the existence of the optimal solution for headway and route width is guaranteed. A formulated solution is derived for headway that will be useful when establishing relations among variables and predetermined parameters. These relations will help researchers decide the importance of those predetermined parameters, thus giving them the ability to easily and effectively handle transit network design problems.
