Public transport, hyperheuristics, optimization, location and routing problemAbstract
This article presents an algorithm that establishes stops and routes for buses to extend the existing transport lines. The newly developed algorithm is based on a hyperheuristic approach, whose main feature is its ability to choose and apply the most convenient metaheuristics at the diff erent stages of the search process. Besides, it is shown how computing times are reduced using parallel programming and through a strategy that minimizes the number of evaluations. The case under study arises from an existing need in Bahia Blanca city (Argentina), where the neighbors have asked for more accessibility in the public transport service.
