Optimizing the operations of public transport systems involves many levels, starting from strategic planning and moving to tactical planning and near real-time (operational) control. In a general planning process, we move from the Optimal Stop Location problemOptimal stop location problem to Transit Network DesignTransit Network Design (TND), Frequency SettingFrequency setting (FS), Transit Network TimetablingTransit Network Timetabling (TNT), Vehicle Scheduling (VSP)Vehicle scheduling problem, and Crew Scheduling (CSP). This chapter covers the strategic public transport planning level, including aspects such as the estimation of trip distributionTrip distribution, the optimal stop location problemOptimal stop location problem, routing problemsVehicle routing problem, and the line planning problemLine planning problem that result in the design of the stations and the line routes of a transit network. The decisions about the locations of the stations and the routes of fixed line services are strategic because, once made, it is not easy to amend them within a short time.
