Urban bus route network design involves determining a route configuration with a set of
transit routes and associated frequencies that achieves the desired objective. This can be …

The problem of determining an optimal feeder bus route, feeding a major intermodal transfer
station (or a central business district), in a service area is considered. Subject to geographic …

This paper describes a procedure for solving the bus network design problem and its
application in a large urban area (the city of Rome), characterized by:(a) a complex road …

Growing traffic congestion, the importance of preserving the environment, and the problems
of road safety are the main reasons to consider new initiatives worldwide in designing new …
