Improving the Efficiency of Urban Public Transport by Optimizing the Bus Schedule in the City of Lida

The paper presents the optimization problem of public transport schedule in the city of Lida in response to the improvement in passenger service quality. Using scheduling technique of route vehicles on duplicating stretches allows to determine the optimal vehicle traffic intervals for each route, considering duplicating stretches; coordinate the movement of route vehicles on duplicating stretches; reduce waiting time for route vehicles for those passengers who can be transported using several route options; increase uniformity of vehicle occupancy.

Improving the bus schedule on duplicating stretches in the city of Lida was conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Experimental research has shown the applicability of the developed technique in practice.
