description |
This project studies the campus shuttle bus services during the morning peak hour in
NTU using a simulation model in order to optimize the bus services and reduce waiting
time and commuting time of passengers. The ARENA simulation software, a discrete
event simulation and automation software, was used to create the simulation model for
the Campus Red and Campus Blue shuttle services in NTU. This report documents the
simulated results of average waiting times and commuting times for the different
changes made to the current shuttle bus service.
This report begins with the background and literature review to provide the necessary
information regarding the current shuttle bus service in NTU, bus network
optimization and simulation modelling. The designing and explanation of the
simulation model was discussed and shown, followed by the collection of data to be
input into the model, and the verification and validation of the simulation model.
Finally, various scenarios of the simulation model were discussed and explained, and
different simulated average waiting times and commuting times were obtained.
Following that, a comparison was conducted between the various scenarios and the
current existing system to deem if the performance has improved. To conclude the
paper, recommendations to improve the current system, as well as improvements for
future work were also introduced. |
