Abstract

With the rapid development of urban rail transit network, traveler’s route decision become more difficult to make and travelers’ route preferences vary with their characteristics. This study proposed a route recommendation algorithm with the least generalized travel cost based on the classification of traveler’s personal characteristic. The generalized travel cost model was established with the consideration of LOS variables (e.g. in-vehicle time, transfer time, number of transfers, in-vehicle traveler density, etc) and then a traveler classifier was constructed based on the K- nearest neighbor algorithm by machine learning how travelers’ characteristics affect their route choice intentions, thus the optimal route with the least generalized cost for each type of travelers being generated. Finally, the model and algorithm were verified to be valid with the data from Beijing subway network.
