Route planning system in bus network is very important on providing passengers a better experience for public transportation services. This work presents a new on-line dynamic path planning algorithm in a stochastic and time-dependent bus network, with the objective of least expected travel time. Firstly, an initial optimal path is found when a pas...

... expected travel time. Section II describes the STD network to be researched. Section III presents the main methods, including shortest path algorithm and optimal path updating process. Section IV shows the simulation results for the validation of the proposed method. The last section concludes the current work and proposes some future works. Fig. 1 shows a hypothetical STD network having four rows and columns to be researched in this work. There are 5 bus stops and three bus lines. Passengers leave from the starting location at time $t$ to the destination location. The problem is to dynamically find the optimal path with the least expected travel time during the trip based on the ...

Due to the paucity of well-established modelling approaches or well-accepted travel time distributions, the existing travel time models are often assumed to follow certain popular distributions, such as normal or lognormal, which may lead to results deviating from actual ones. This paper proposes a modelling approach for travel times using distribu...
