Timetable Coordination of the First Trains for Subway Network With Maximum Passenger Perceived Transfer Quality

Non-coordinated first-train timetables can result in unfavorable train connections among different subway lines at transfer stations and generate rather long waiting time for transfer passengers. This paper aims at optimizing the first train originating times of different transit lines at the networ...
