Abstract

Trains and buses are the most important means of transportation in suburban cities in Japan. It is common for passengers to change buses and/or trains to get to their destination, but buses usually do not arrive at bus stops on time because of traffic congestion. In this paper, we design bus timetables which ensure smooth transfer and avoid delay propagation in Fuji city. Since the train and bus network in Fuji City is intricate, we need to determine arrival/departure time of each bus with the aim of optimizing the whole of the network. We construct a time-space network from the train and bus timetables in Fuji City, and present a mathematical optimization model to design bus timetables with delay scenarios generated based on site investigation and data analysis.
