Description
Summary:ABSTRACT We propose a model and solution method to a simultaneous route design and frequency setting problem on a main corridor from one of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Systems of Colombia. The proposed model considers objectives of users and operators in a combinatorial multi-objective optimization framework and takes into account real constraints on the operation of some Colombian BRT systems not found in previous models. The problem is solved heuristically by a Genetic Algorithm which is tailored from an existing work, to consider specific characteristics of the real scenario. The methodology is validated with current data from one of the most important bus corridors in a Colombian BRT system. The results obtained improve the current solutions for this corridor.
