Optimized Development of Urban Transportation Networks 2.0

Optimization methods will be developed for determining when rail transit networks and connected bus feeder routes should be introduced and how their operating characteristics such as service frequencies and fares should be designed. The objectives of the optimization methods will be to minimize total costs or maximize net benefits for urban public transportation systems.
