Simulação de uma linha de ônibus urbano por processo computacional.

Abstract

Three Computational Models (using GPSS-General Purpose Simulation System) were developed to simulate an urban bus line. A bus line with Origin-Destination data at each bus stop for different time periods and distance between stops is introduced in the simulation of the models. Using these models, it is possible to study the total travel time, depending on: the total waiting time, total bus travel time for different bus operating periods and the number of buses required to operate the route, which can have different cities cover. For each case, it is also studied the use of ceda Buses in the line. The computational models ask to be used to: optimize the total travel time of all the passengers of the line and analyze the use of the buses.
