A park-and-ride system and optimization method using shuttle bus connection

Abstract

The invention discloses a park-and-ride system and an optimization method that use shuttle buses to connect, including a self-driving section, a transfer center, and a shuttle section; the transfer center includes an underground parking lot and an above-ground waiting room connected by passages, and the waiting room is exclusive to the shuttle bus. The running lane; the self-driving section, for passengers to drive their vehicles to and from the underground parking lot; the shuttle section, including several shuttle bus lines, for passengers to go directly from the waiting room to their destination; the destination, including urban parking spots, is the parking lot of an office building or a large shopping mall. At the same time, a shuttle bus departure interval model was established, using the passenger waiting time cost, passenger in-car time cost, and shuttle bus operating cost as indicators, and combined with constraints to improve the service level of park and ride, reduce travel time, and optimize the departure interval to attract more people. More travelers choose the park-and-ride travel mode, which reduces the proportion of private cars entering the city center, relieves traffic pressure within the city, improves traffic efficiency, reduces travel costs for passengers, and achieves energy conservation and emission reduction effects.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transfer system, in particular to a park-and-ride system using shuttle buses and an optimization method, and belongs to the technical field of traffic park-and-ride system design. Background technique [0002] As the number of cars increases year by year and urban suburbanization continues to develop, the travel distance of residents in the periphery of the city continues to increase, and the proportion of motorized travel continues to increase. The resulting problems such as traffic congestion and parking difficulties in the city center are becoming increasingly serious. . [0003] Existing travel modes have certain shortcomings: private car travel costs are high, road congestion is aggravated, and parking is difficult; public transportation has shortcomings such as poor timeliness, low comfort, and poor accessibility in serving long-distance travel; [0004] Park-and-ride means that travelers drive their private cars to pa...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are certain deficiencies in the existing travel methods: private car travel costs are high, road congestion is aggravated, and parking is difficult; public transportation has shortcomings such as poor timeliness, low comfort, and poor accessibility when serving long-distance travel;

[0007] However, this patent only selects the optimal route from multiple park-and-ride routes for the traveler, and does not shorten the parking time, transfer time and travel time after transferring to public transportation during the park-and-ride process.
