A bilevel model for transit vehicle allocation
Abstract
The formulation and resolution of a bi-level transit network design problem in an intermodal network environment is presented in the paper. The lower level of this bi-level problem is a combined mode-choice/assignment intermodal network equilibrium with asymmetric link interactions and variable transit frequencies. The upper level is a transit ridership maximization problem, with the number of transit vehicles allocated toward transit routes as a design variable. A sensitivity based algorithm is proposed for resolution of the bi-level problem.
