Modeling the effects of shuttle bus system on visitors' traffic flow to the Tokyo Bay zone during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics

東京ベイゾーンへのオリンピック観戦客の輸送を想定した直通バスの数理モデル

This paper proposes mathematical models to evaluate the effects of shuttle bus system on visitors' traffic flow to the Tokyo Bay zone during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The authors consider shuttle buses departing from major railway stations in the Tokyo Metropolitan area and examine their ability to relieve traffic concentration on railway lines providing access to the Tokyo Bay zone. The authors construct a space-time network for modeling actual railway services in the Tokyo Metropolitan area and extend it by introducing links representing shuttle buses. The authors focus on a particular day during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics and evaluate how visitors' traffic flow changes after the introduction of shuttle bus services using the proposed models. One of the results show that shuttle buses contribute to relieving traffic congestion on the Yurikamome Line departing from Shimbashi station.本論文では，2020年に開催が予定されている東京オリンピック・パラリンピックにおける東京ベイゾーンへの観戦客輸送を想定した直通バスの数理モデルを提案する．首都圏鉄道網の主要駅から会場周辺へ向かう直通バスを想定し，東京ベイゾーンへ向かう電車の混雑を緩和する効果について検討する．首都圏鉄道網の電車の運行を表現する時空間ネットワークを構築し，これに直通バスを表現するリンクを追加してモデルを拡張する．ある一日の競技スケジュールを選び，観戦客が会場まで，通勤・通学客の流れを加味した上で経路選択を行うと仮定し，直通バス導入後の観戦客の流れの変化を計算する．分析結果から，ゆりかもめの新橋駅を発車する電車の混雑緩和に寄与することが確認された．
