Sažetak
In recent years, the mini-bus service has gained a rapid development, while the reasonable stop spacing is significant to improve residents’ travel efficiency. In order to locate the mini-bus stops practically, this paper firstly proposes a mathematical model based on Voronoi Diagrams to minimize residents’ total travel time. Improved Wilson-Han-Powell Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) technique is employed to solve the model. Based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Cartesian coordinate system is used to calculate the walking distance between mini-bus stops and origins or destinations, which cannot be directly measured. Secondly, based on the actual situation, this paper proposes modification methods for adjusting mini-bus stops. The validity and usefulness of the methodology is tested through applying it to a real case in Shanghai (China). The calculation results suggest that the model deals well with the mini-bus stop spacing problem.
