Abstract: |
An application
of simulation in the design of public transportation facilities is presented.
The flow of passengers is modeled using discrete-event simulation, which facilitates the abstraction of the emptying and filling of the
passengers into the buses, rather than the more usual continuous simulation
for crowd movement. The decision variables include not only the physical
layout of the queues but also some tactical variables which will help in
future negotiations with labor unions and owners of the lines. A sensitivity analysis
is performed to understand the influence of peaks of demands. |
