INTERMODAL TRANSIT SYSTEM COORDINATION WITH DYNAMIC VEHICLE DISPATCHING

This research presents two models, one for coordinating a general intermodal transit system and the other for dynamic dispatching of vehicles on coordinated routes. A total cost function model, including supplier and user costs, is developed for optimizing the coordination of a general intermodal transit network under different demand situations , while the impact of various factors such as demand standard deviation of vehicle arrival times, etc., on coordination is examined. A numerical example is provided to show the application of the dynamic dispatching model, while vehicle holding times are optimized and dispatching costs are analyzed under different delay variations of coordinated vehicles arrival times.
