Proposing Optimized Bus Route in Havana

Abstract

The rise in economic activity and other considerations apart, urbanization is to blame for the rise in transportation needs. The main goal of this research is to look into the city’s current transportation infrastructure, introduce workable mass transit, and suggest a suitable or sufficient bus route and stop in Havana City Corporation. People are using public transportation in greater numbers, and native communities are expanding their transportation system offerings. The poor transportation infrastructure in most Cuban cities makes it difficult for locals to move, which is rapidly worsening the situation in Havana City Corporation. Public transportation could be a key component of the solution to the country’s energy, environmental, and economic problems, bringing about a greater standard of living. The Multinomial Logit Model has been employed with the aid of Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine the best site for the bus stop because there is enough predicted and allocated travel demand for transportation on the road network. Eight routes are suggested throughout this research using optimization route-based network analysis based on demand, stop placement feasibility, and road capacity. This study is offered as a strategy for the Havana municipal authority to use these routes to determine a transportation system that is sustainably run from an economic, social, and environmental perspective.
