Feeder bus service (FBS) plays a vital role in a public transit network by providing feeder access to hubs and rails. As a feeder service, a space-time path for frequent passengers is decided by its dynamic strategy procedure, in which a day-to-day information self-learning mechanism is identified and analyzed from our survey data. We formulate a frequency-based assignment model considering day-to-day evolution under oversaturated conditions, which takes into account the residual capacity of bus and the comfort feelings of sitting or standing. The core of our proposed model is to allocate the passengers on each segment belonging to their own paths according to multi-utilities transformed from the time values and parametric demands, such as frequency, bus capacity, seat comfort, and stop layout. The assignment method, albeit general, allows us to formulate an equivalent optimization problem in terms of interaction between the FBS\u2019 operation and frequent passengers\u2019 rational behaviors. Finally, a real application case is generated to test the ability of the modeling framework capturing the theoretical consequents, serving the passengers\u2019 dynamic externalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info8010019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,6]],"date-time":"2017-02-06T11:29:27Z","timestamp":1486380567000},"page":"19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Frequency-Based Assignment Model under Day-to-Day Information Evolution of Oversaturated Conditions on a Feeder Bus Service"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Silin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE (Ministry of Education) Key Laboratory for Urban Transportation Complex Systems Theory and Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenzhou","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE (Ministry of Education) Key Laboratory for Urban Transportation Complex Systems Theory and Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7815-3889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhichao","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MOE (Ministry of Education) Key Laboratory for Urban Transportation Complex Systems Theory and Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trc.2011.02.007","article-title":"A schedule-based assignment model with explicit capacity constraints for congested transit networks","volume":"20","author":"Nuzzolo","year":"2012","journal-title":"Transp.
