USER-BASED LOCATION CRITERIA FOR TRANSIT TERMINAL FREQUENCY

This research focuses on the development of mathematical models and default parameters that describe the dynamics of relationships between transit terminal frequencies and user travel time. The models and defaults, developed through observations of local bus transit system, supplement a general transit terminal location optimization methodology. Models can be implemented as an aid to development of policies regarding public transportation system terminal frequency and location.
