[4 marks]An urban bus route has a patronage of 800 pass/h and a cycle time of 2.5h. It is operated with buses having a seating capacity of 50 pass. The operating cost is Rs. 3500/bus-h and the transit operator believes that passenger value waiting time at Rs. 600/h. The ratio of max. load to the total no. of pass. Boarding is 0.5 and the operator’s max. load factor standard is 1.1. Determine the capacity headway, the headway that minimizes the sum of operating cost and passenger’s time costs, and the actual headway to be operated. All headways are to be rounded off to the nearest minute. Page 3 of
