Bus Dispatching Interval Optimization Based on Adaptive Bacteria Foraging Algorithm

The improved bacterial foraging algorithm was applied in this paper to schedule the bus departing interval. Optimal interval can decrease the total operation cost and passengers’ mean waiting time. The principles of colony sensing, chemotactic action, and improved foraging strategy made this algorit...
