Optimization Model of the Public Transit Network Based on Operational Reliability

The optimization of the public transit network in relation to passengers, operators, and department managers, involves many aspects including service, cost, and performance, and is the typical problem encountered in the construction of a "transit metropolis." To solve the problem, this paper is mainly built on a optimization model of the public transit network based on operational reliability analysis model and the analysis of the bus operational reliability and influencing factors, starting from three angles including the bus stations, bus lines, and the transit network. Taking Swiss Road Network as an example, in contrast to the method of the paper (Yan, 2012), the feasibility analysis proves that the optimization method of the public transit network is simpler and therefore more suitable for promotion.
