Uma metodologia para alocação de paradas de ônibus em pontos viáveis.

Abstract

This study deals with the allocation of bus stops of an urban line. The model is based on the following data: a) - line extension b) - selection of minimum and maximum distance between successive stops c) - demand points in line with respective demands d) - number of times buses travel daily line e) - average speed of a bus in urban traffic without considering stops f) - average time of bus acceleration and deceleration g) - average speed of a pedestrian h) - average time of loading and unloading of users. The line is divided into segments based on fixed stops, defined by intersections with other lines or by the existence of strategic points. On each segment, algorithms are applied in order to obtain: a) A minimization related to the distances covered by all users in the segments, for each number of stops that satisfies the restrictions of maximum and minimum distances. b) - Among these solutions is chosen as optimal solution that minimizes the total time of all trips in the segment per day. The results of each segment finally constitute the overall result.
