description | The optimization of bus scheduling is a key method to improve bus service. So, the purpose of this paper is to address the regional public transportation dispatching problem, while taking into account the association between the departure time of buses and the waiting time of passengers. A bi-objective optimization model for regional public transportation scheduling is established to minimize the total waiting cost of passengers and to maximize the comprehensive service rate of buses. Moreover, a NSGA-II algorithm with adaptive adjusted model for crossover and mutation probability is designed to obtain the Pareto solution set of this problem, and the entropy weight-TOPSIS method is utilized to make a decision. Then the algorithms are compared with examples, and the results show that the model is feasible, and the proposed algorithms are achievable in solving the regional public transportation scheduling problem. |
