Solution plots for the case study instances in the paper "The Bus Rapid Transit Investment Problem".

Instance Naming

The naming of the files uses the pattern "movia_[ROUTE]_[BETA]_[Z]_[OBJECTIVE].xml", where ROUTE, BETA, Z, and OBJECTIVE correspond to the concerned route alternative, budget split, the number of allowed BRT components and the passenger response applied in the objective, respectively.

Explanation of Plots

For the setting determined by the instance name, the upgraded segments are displayed for certain investment budgets. Here, 100% investment budget corresponds to the costs of upgrading all segments of the most expensive line alternative. The set of nondominated points is condensed to ten budget ranges and shows the solution with the highest number of newly attracted passengers within each range. Segments are colored according to the corresponding municipalities if they are upgraded and are gray if they are not upgraded. The shade of the color displays the share of the passengers using the segment compared to the total number of potential passengers. The width of a segment corresponds to its costs. The load profile for the completely upgraded BRT line is given at the top. The investment costs and the attracted passengers are normalized by the costs of upgrading all segments of the most expensive line alternative and the highest number of attracted passengers over all line alternatives, respectively.
