Abstract
Line configuration has direct impacts on the system operating cost, passenger travel time and line transfers. The travel time and number of transfers taken by the passengers are dependent on passenger line assignment and the line configuration. Unfortunately, the interplay between transit line configuration and passenger line assignment has been largely ignored in the literature. This thesis presents a model for simultaneous optimization of transit line configuration and passenger line assignment in a general network. The model is formulated into a linear binary integer program and can be solved by any integer solver. The standard branch and bound method is used in the model. The model is illustrated with a couple of minimum spanning tree networks and a simplified version of the Hong Ko...[

Line configuration has direct impacts on the system operating cost, passenger travel time and line transfers. The travel time and number of transfers taken by the passengers are dependent on passenger line assignment and the line configuration. Unfortunately, the interplay between transit line configuration and passenger line assignment has been largely ignored in the literature. This thesis presents a model for simultaneous optimization of transit line configuration and passenger line assignment in a general network. The model is formulated into a linear binary integer program and can be solved by any integer solver. The standard branch and bound method is used in the model. The model is illustrated with a couple of minimum spanning tree networks and a simplified version of the Hong Kong MTR network.
