Abstract: The optimization of average passenger waiting time for transit transfers with vehicle capacity constraints was studied. In a certain cycle time, the transfer waiting time for different transit lines with vehicle capacity constraints is minimized by adjusting transit schedules in a transit network structure. And a solution based on genetic algorithm was proposed to the optimal model. The results show that the model could be relaxed to the model proposed by Shafahi while the vehicle capacity is enough to transfer demands without the vehicle capacity constraints. The average transfer waiting time with vehicle capacity constraints could increase by 370% compared to Shafahi's result. The results illustrate that the vehicle capacity is a key factor to take into account in the optimization of transit transfer because it influences the passenger transfer time significantly.

Key words: engineering of communications and transportation system, transit transfer, vehicle capacity, transfer waiting time, operation schedule, genetic algorithm
