Abstract

County transit is an important mode that connects the county center with the surrounding countryside. This paper addresses the problem of unreasonable transit network planning, inconvenient operational optimizations, and protections in the country transit network system to build the transfer optimization model of the county transit network. The model that maximizes the synchronization reach operates in the “end-point connection”, which is the most suitable layout mode by analyzing the characteristics of county transit passenger flow and for comparing different layout modes. Typical county-level cities in three urban agglomerations in China were chosen as cases to validate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed model. The case results are compared and analyzed in terms of the network density, departure interval, county population, and economic development level, which give theoretical support for decision-making in the planning, construction, and operation management of public transportation in China’s counties.
