Abstract

Due to the large number of urban trips and the importance of people's value of time, transportation planners are quite concerned about the design of efficient transportation systems. Therefore, the need for a new and efficient transit system for large cities is a must. Light Rail Transit (LRT) is one of transit alternatives for such cities. One of the important issues in the context of LRT development is NETWORK DESIGN. The core of the problem, which is designing a transit network capable of transporting a large number of people efficiently and cost effectively, is highly complex. In operations research, the problem belongs to the class of NETWORK DESIGN problems, but due to their very large sizes, integrality restrictions and non-linearity, they can not be solved by means of standard NETWORK DESIGN methods. There is not yet any analytical method available to solve this problem. Gendreau and his co-researchers have expressed the fact that design of a rapid transportation system is a procedure accompanied by complex trend of decision-making, multi-restraint and multi-objectives, uncertainty, non-measurable elements, heavy investment, and long period activity. They have then concluded that the standard traditional methods of NETWORK DESIGN are insufficient for such complex problems with big dimensions. Nonetheless, however, operation research methods might be of great importance and help at different stages of design, by developing and utilizing tools for production and evaluation of alternatives. Usually in practice, a two-stage procedure is used in locating the railway line, as following:1- Developing the efficient answer, considering the basic criteria, and2- Locating the best line amongst the existed alternatives by evaluating them and considering both measurable and non-measurable criteria ...
