The Transit Network Design Problem consists in optimising the main features of a transit network (line routes, frequencies, timetables, etc.). This problem has been extensively studied in the literature, some recent reviews being available in Desaulniers and Hickman (2007) and Guihaire and Hao (2008). In this paper we study the problem of optimising the frequencies of an urban bus network assuming the demand as elastic; more in details, we start from the model proposed by the authors in a previous paper (Gallo et al., 2011) and propose some meta-heuristic algorithms for solving the problem, which are able to generate more local optima, improving the results obtained by local search algorithms.

Abstract
The Transit Network Design Problem consists in optimising the main features of a transit network (line routes, frequencies, timetables, etc.). This problem has been extensively studied in the literature, some recent reviews being available in Desaulniers and Hickman (2007) and Guihaire and Hao (2008). In this paper we study the problem of optimising the frequencies of an urban bus network assuming the demand as elastic; more in details, we start from the model proposed by the authors in a previous paper (Gallo et al., 2011) and propose some meta-heuristic algorithms for solving the problem, which are able to generate more local optima, improving the results obtained by local search algorithms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
