A timetable-based transit assignment model

In this paper, a transit assignment model has been developed on stochastic networks, with considering vehicle capacity and scheduled timetable. The stochastic network based transit assignment model is appropriate to apply for bus and metro networks altogether since it can distinguish between uncertain and reliable travel times characteristics by imposing stochastic parameters on links or lines. The vehicle capacity constraint based model is useful to evaluate some alternative operational plans and policies in transit networks. On the other hand, the scheduled timetable based model is necessary to evaluate detailed transit operations by calculating personal route choice based on the exact timetables of the transit operations. As a result of this we can assign the passengers in more realistic representation.
