Tarbiat Modares University Modares Civil Engineering Journal 2476-6763 15 5 2015 08 23 An Integrated Fleet Scheduling and Allocation Model to Bus Rapid Transit Network An Integrated Fleet Scheduling and Allocation Model to Bus Rapid Transit Network 97 106 11831 FA Sajjad Mazloom Mahmood Saffarzadeh Journal Article In this article has been tried to find a new solution for fleet assignment to BRT network through scheduling assigned fleet to routes. Vehicle scheduling in each route is done with regard to passenger waiting time at stations and in consequence assigned vehicle dispatching model is related to the first station at each route. In designing the model, it has been tried to develop it in a way that it can be extended and be useful on a worldwide scale. The proposed model for Tehran BRT network has been developed by lingo software with data acquired from the Tehran municipality transportation department and the results analyzed. One of the important finding in this research is that a necessity of using buses with high capacity in BRT systems.
