This book presents a sequential modelling approach for an
integrated urban public transport planning. The methodology
consists of three models viz. rail transit corridor identification,
feeder route generation, and integrated scheduling models. The 1st
model was developed to identify the new urban rail transit corridor
using GIS, which is optimum from both users' and operators' point
of view. In the model for feeder route generation, the feeder
routes are generated in two levels, the first level generates the
initial set of shortest paths and in the second level, search is
made around these corridors to select one route combination out of
all possible routing configurations. The integrated scheduling
model consists of two sub-models; the train scheduling sub-model
which was used to obtain optimal frequencies for train operation on
the newly identified corridors, and the schedule co-ordination
sub-model to co-ordinate the schedules of feeder bus routes of each
station with the train schedules. The testing of the proposed
methodology is done on the case study area of Thane City, which is
a part of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), India.
