- Abstract
Feeder bus route design must consider the coverage of existing routes, the distribution of residential zones, the level of service and the availability of financial subsidies. The optimal solution is difficult to find and implement; therefore, a market potential index (MPI)-based model was proposed in this study. Moreover, particle swarm optimization was employed to solve the model. The feeder bus routes of the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Miaoli Station served as the case study. The results showed that the bus route produced by this method is superior to the routes designed by the government based on experience and conventional indicators. The proposed method can be used as a template and applied to the design of feeder bus routes for railway stations.
