Abstract

Aiming to optimize and design the land transport network in a city consisting of a group of islands, this paper proposes a bi-level programming model. The upper-level model is to optimize the transport network between the islands, which consists of land corridors and water shipping lines, in terms of efficiency, environment protection and equity. It is a multi-objective optimization model to minimize the total travel time, the carbon emissions per travelers and the disparity of the developing potential among the islands. The lower-level model is to assign the OD trips on the network outputted by the upper-level model with the user equilibrium theory. A heuristic algorithm is designed to solve the proposed model based on the Pareto optimality. Finally, a case study is employed to verify the applicability and effectiveness of the model.
