Transit Network Design Problem

This is a long term project, whose objectives are to develop methodologies, mathematical models, algorithms and computational tools, to aid in the tasks of planning the routes for an urban public transportation system. The Transit Network Design Problem (TNDP) consists in finding a set of routes over the street network of a city and its associated frequencies, optimizing the objectives of users (people who use the public transportation) and the operators (companies who offer the services).

The project is framed in the context of the research line developed by our group, about the application of optimization and simulation techniques to problems related to the planning and operation of public transportation systems. It is conducted by the Operations Research Department of the Computer Science Institute, Engineering School, Universidad de la República, Uruguay.
