Abstract
The bus system will hardly be substituted in any city, now or in the future. Hence, running buses more efficiently will be the main consideration of bus operators.
Presently most bus operators use standard buses or use a singly type of bus to provide service. This leads some sections of the buses being overcrowded in peak periods and the load factor in the off-peak periods are low. Since using mixed types of buses were proposed in some previous researches, they only discussed a peak period of time or with many unsuitable assumptions. The optimal combination of minibuses and standard buses has never been investigated.
Therefore, in this research, we focus on the optimal combination, the number of vehicles in the fleet and its schedule under a given level of service and the known trip distribution, to achieve the objective of minimizing total system costs. Furthermore, we will extend the analysis period to a whole day and then to a whole week to find out the optimal bus combination and its fleet number of vehicle size of a route.
