Optimizing Bus Lines In Urban Public Transportation By Cost And Trip Calculation Methods: A Software Model Design

Abstract

Planning of aa public transport system in an ordered way is the key which offers potential users a mode of transport. To attract travelers from other modes of transport, sufficiently attractive overall journey times must be provided, so reducing traffic congestion and obtaining delivered benefits like road safety and lower atmospheric and noise pollution. The congestion that close with increasing demand is becoming a part of our lives and it is complicating our lives. Some work is done to reduce the traffic congestion. If we want to provide an efficient and balanced layout in public transport system, we must place the right stop at the right places. Hence, we consider some components like cost, security, noise pollution, etc. In this study, it is aimed to solve a set covering problem for locating the smallest number possible of bus stops.
