AbstractThis paper describes journey-planning procedures designed for use in a traveller information system covering fixed-schedule and demand-responsive public transport modes. The task is to construct a sequence of journey-legs to meet a traveller’s requirements with the least possible generalised cost, subject to time-window and other constraints. A journey may be carried out in a single leg by walking or by taking a taxi all the way from the origin to the destination, or by a sequence of one or more legs carried by public transport services sandwiched between walked segments connecting an initial pickup and final setdown stop. The public transport services may include fixed-route modes such as bus and train, and demand-responsive services running between fixed points. The main planning procedures are a high-level request-broker and a branch and bound procedure to handle multi-legged journeys; the request-broker also invokes a fleet-scheduling module to obtain bookings on demand-responsive services. The paper describes planning conditions, the planning procedures, and reduction techniques that are used to obtain acceptable computational performance. Tests with simulated demand suggest that the procedures are well suited for use in a real-time traveller information system.
