| Author | Yi-Hwa Chou, Li-Chun Huang |
| Summary | This paper develops a heuristic method for the design of MRT route service pattern after referring to the MRT track’s layout and the passenger OD matrix. Instead of engineering improvements, the MRT route service pattern are designed by logic procedures. Two types of routes are generated: (1) basic operation routes, (2) feasible operation routes. To achieve the optimum alternative, the effects of routes service pattern design on both operators and passengers are traded off by minimizing the sum of operating costs and passengers costs. Through the case studies on April 2000, it is shown that the optimal of route service pattern for TAIPEI MRT Network are consisted with three routes:(1)Tamshui to Hsintian; (2)Shihpei to Nanshih Chiao; (3)Lungshan Temple to Taipei City Hall under the same considerations. |
