Abstract

Expanded coverage of travel demand with fast and mass public transportation (such as subway and bus BRT) with using feeder networks is possible. High complexity of the exact methods of solving problems feeder networks leading to heuristic researchers and meta-heuristic methods to solve these problems. This paper present an innovate approach to solve the problem design of feeder bus network in a test network (sioxfals) which can take into account many important parameters. In this paper product som initial route; then with set parameters such as: the coverd demand to travel time, maximum ans minimum limit of length,these route have been selected. Frequency restrictions، other restrictions that are covered track number and percentage of the final routes have been selected for their help. The proposed method was used in the test network Siox-Falls and able to cover the demand for public transport by rail networks to help improve feeder lines.
