We present a mixed integer linear program for the rapid transit network de- sign problem with static modal competition. Previous discrete formulations cannot handle modal competition for realistic size instances because of the complexity of modeling alternatives for each flow in the network. We over- come this difficulty by exploiting a pre-assigned topological configuration. We discuss relevant goals of rapid transit planning, and we propose a multi- objective model conducive to a post-optimization analysis for effectiveness, efficiency, and equity concerns. A case study carried out for a metro proposal in Concepci ?on, Chile, shows the suitability of the method.

Abstract
We present a mixed integer linear program for the rapid transit network de- sign problem with static modal competition. Previous discrete formulations cannot handle modal competition for realistic size instances because of the complexity of modeling alternatives for each flow in the network. We over- come this difficulty by exploiting a pre-assigned topological configuration. We discuss relevant goals of rapid transit planning, and we propose a multi- objective model conducive to a post-optimization analysis for effectiveness, efficiency, and equity concerns. A case study carried out for a metro proposal in Concepci ?on, Chile, shows the suitability of the method.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
