ALGORITHM TO OBTAIN THE SHORTEST BUS ROUTE AND THE CALCULATION OF THE ACCESSIBILITY OF BUS NETWORKS

An algorithm to find the shortest bus route and the shortest travel time between two zones is presented in this paper. The effect of a single-price rule on passengers to choose bus routes is assessed. Based on passenger OD distribution matrix, the accessibility of bus networks is studied, which can be used to evaluate bus networks and to provide alternatives.
