    Abstract
  • The coordinated optimization problem of operation routes and vehicle schedules for responsive feeder transit under the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode was studied. The vehicle route representation method based on passengers rather than demand points was devised by considering the personalization of passenger travel time window. The objective function that represents system benefit was constructed by combining the costs of vehicle departure and travel, penalty costs of vehicle early and late arrival, and ticket fares. The vehicle capacity, passenger time window, vehicle running time, vehicle holding quantity and departure time were all taken as constraints, and the integrated optimization model of departure interval, vehicle type and running route was constructed. The double genetic algorithm was designed to solve the integrated optimization model. In this algorithm, the chromosome was coded by multi-chain coding structure, and the chromosome chiasma included two ways of inter-individual and intra-individual. In order to validate the superiority of the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode, and the effectiveness of the integrated optimization model and the algorithm, several examples were designed to compare the calculation results of the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode and the separate pick-up and deliver mode. The effects of vehicle speed, single trip running time limit and vehicle composition on the operation efficiency of responsive feeder transit were analyzed. Calculation result shows that under the same passenger demand, compared with the separate pick-up and deliver mode, under the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode, the departure times reduce by 1, the number of required vehicles reduce by 2, the average seat utilization rate increases by 8.3%, the average vehicle distance required to transport unit passenger reduces by 11.0%, and the operation cost reduces by 15.9%. Therefore, the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode can effectively improve the operation efficiency. At the same time, under the simultaneous pick-up and delivery mode, when vehicle speed, single trip running time limit, and small vehicle ratio fluctuate by 15.0%, 15.0%, and 12.5% near the reference values, respectively, the maximum change rate of the departure times, the average seat utilization rate, and the objective value reach 20.0%, 15.7%, and 27.1%, respectively, therefore, these parameters have a significant impact on the system operating efficiency.
