Question

Route ABC is served by standard 50-seat (no standees allowed) buses. Let: B = vehicle operating cost = 40 $/veh-hr V = average speed (including stops) = 20 mph v = value of users' time = 6 S/pass-hr p = vehicle capacity = 50 seats/veh H = operating headway = (hr/veh) Find: the minimum frequency required to serve the peak hour demand shown in the matrix. the load factor in . the frequency at which the total cost (supplier cost + user cost) is minimized. d. the maximum load factor achievable if the route is split into two sub-routes (Routes AB and BC).

Explanation / Answer

A) min frequency is 150

b) load factor in a) is 200

c) frequency total cost is 200

d) max lad factor is 600
