Public Transport Networks is a networks repository for public transport research. It provides networks as test instances for the following types of problems:
- Public transport network design problem (NDP)
- Public transport vehicle and crew scheduling
- Public transport networks with disturbances
- Public transport assignment
- Handling of ridesharing trips
Each individual network and related files is stored in a separate folder. Each folder contains the following subfolders:
- Input: provides data describing the transport supply (nodes, stops, links, running times) and data describing the travel demand (traffic zones, trips between traffic zones)
- Solution_NDP_Summary: Overview of all solutions for the Network Design Problem
- Solution_NDP_Name: Description of a particular solution for the Network Design Problem
The current data sets are a result of the research project "FOR 2083: Integrated Planning For Public Transportation" funded by the German Research Association DFG.
