| description | Purpose: Terminals are major urban passenger centers that play an essential role in collecting and distributing demand on the network. The proper functioning of terminals depends on their adequate planning, a necessary part of which is devoted to their principled location. The issue of locating intra-city bus terminals should be considered an optimization problem. Methodology: The mentioned method is based on four consecutive stages, according to which, in the first and second stages, the candidate points for the construction of intercity bus terminals are selected according to the network of bus lines and the location of the lanes, as well as according to the existing terminals. The construction and acquisition cost, the access value to adjacent uses, and each candidate point's coverage are evaluated in the third stage. Finally, in the fourth stage, the problem is transformed from a multi-objective mode to a single-objective maximization problem using the ideal planning method, as a result of which the top points are identified among the candidate points. To better understand the proposed method, the problem of locating terminals was implemented in Shiraz, which finally selected the proposed 3-point algorithm as the final point for constructing intercity bus terminals. Findings: An examination of the model results and the parameters of selected points shows that these points are among the important and effective points for constructing the terminal and are relatively in agreement with the policy of Shiraz Municipality Bus Organization in locating the terminals. Originality/Value: This paper uses an innovative method to solve the problem of locating terminals, strengthening existing knowledge. |
