Description
Summary:This paper follows the previous effort of authors and builds the model of transit route network design for low-mobility individuals, proposing an appropriate solution methodology. Firstly, a desired objective, whose priority is to meet transit demands of low-mobility individuals followed by those of general public, is presented to minimize the weighted sum of direct traveler, transfer, and unsatisfied demand costs. Then, a hybrid metaheuristic approach based on ant colony and genetic algorithms is formulated to solve the proposed model in accordance with current conditions (i.e., existing routes that may need to undergo configuration adjustments to different degrees). Finally, the case study of Wenling is presented to highlight the performance and benefits of the proposed model and solution methodology.
