A large neighborhood search algorithm to optimize a demand-responsive feeder service

open access: yesTransportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2021
Feeder services are public transit services that transport people from a low demand, typically suburban, area to a high demand area, such as a transportation hub or a city.

Feeder reconfiguration for power quality requirement and feeder service quality matching

IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition, 2003
Electric power industry deregulation has forced utilities to face new challenges and to assess the cost-benefit implications of providing acceptable quality services for different customers. Distribution systems supply various types of customers that require different service quality.

Feeder Bus Service for Commuter Rail

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1975
A feeder bus system for a suburban community commuter rail station is designed. The paper develops a design methodology utilizing cost–effectiveness methods. A demand model for feeder bus ridership is developed with input variables – location of rail users, income of users transit fare, level of transit service, and walk time to bus route. In applying

Accessibility evaluations of feeder transit services

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2013
Abstract Transit systems play a vital role in the economic development of a region by providing commuters access to industry hubs and centers. The first/last mile transport connectivity to/from a major transit line further extends the opportunities of access to an increased number of industrial hubs and places of interest to an increased number of ...

An Extended Expert System for Service Restoration of Distribution Feeders

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1988
Abstract The service restoration planning in distribution systems deals with the determination of necessary switching actions to restore the service of customers affected by an outage. In practice, it has been performed by system dispatchers based on experience.

Planning of Fixed-Route Fixed-Schedule Feeder Service to Bus Stops in Rural India

open access: yesJournal of Transportation Engineering, 2012
Rural feeder service between villages and bus stops is largely a missing component in developing countries such as India. Traditionally, planning of rural feeder service has been carried out without due consideration to indirect costs associated with ...

Optimization Models for Comparing Conventional and Subscription Bus Feeder Services

Transportation Science, 1991
Analytic models are developed and used in comparing fixed route conventional bus and flexible route subscription bus systems for providing feeder services to a single point (such as a transportation terminal). In the mathematical models for these two systems, vehicle size and service zone size are the optimizable decision variables, and total system ...

Demand Responsive Feeder Transit Scheduling with Flexible Service Quality

2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Engineering (ICITE), 2020
Demand responsive feeder transit is a transportation mode providing transportation service between travel destinations or origins and hub stations. In order to exploit the flexibility of the demand responsive feeder transit system while maintaining its economy, this paper introduces travel freedom of requests in terms of range of service quality of ...

Optimal Zone Design for Feeder Transit Services

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009
Feeder transit services generally operate within residential service areas and move customers to and from a transfer point that connects to a major fixed-route transit network. Feeders can operate in a traditional fixed-route or in an emerging demand-responsive fashion.

2-Vehicle zone optimal design for feeder transit services

Public Transport, 2011
Feeder transit services perform the crucial first/last mile access to transit by connecting people within a residential area to a major transit network. In this paper, we address the optimal zone design problem faced by planners for feeder transit services with high demands and long length of service area, where a two-vehicle operation is assumed to be
