Abstract

Urban traffic problems affect urban development and comfort. The development of public transport and the improvement of transport efficiency are the key, but the optimization of bus routes in small and medium-sized cities is overly dependent on experience and lacks scientific basis, which affects the overall efficiency. In order to make better use of the existing road network and bus enterprise resources, this paper chooses to optimize the No. 7 bus route in Jiaozuo City. In this paper, the basic characteristics of bus routes such as uplink and downlink peak and peak running time, line length and non-linear coefficient are analyzed, and then 9 indicators are selected by AHP method to comprehensively evaluate its current situation. Finally, through summary and analysis, the non-linear coefficient, departure frequency, platform and line efficiency of the line were optimized, so that the optimized non-linear coefficient met the recommended value, the departure frequency was more suitable for the peak and peak passenger flow, the safety of the platform was improved, and the line efficiency was increased by about 19.6%.
