I currently work on the bus timetabling problem. However, I have problem in parameter settings.
What should I use for bus running time upper and lower bound? (currently use 5% of average bus running time)
and also the bus headway bound?
Thank you

Best regards
The time-table design is one of the complex issue to model, design and then operate in transportation system. The bus running time mainly depend on different parameters, e.g usually we allow 2-3 minute to each km inside city, and outside of city the time could be less then 2 minute, as there is no obstacle. so first then you need to analyze the city transportation network, and then you need to specific the route for which you are going to generate the time table, you can see the different intersection and calculable the signal time at the each intersection, then you can model the time table according to intersection study. Generally 7% is the optimum running time.

Best,
45 years ago, KARACHI university was plying point buses early in the morning at seven O clock from different parts ocity, reaching university before 8, Return started at 12 O clock and after each hour till 6 o clock buses was made available. the fare was very low 25 paisa nearly 0.03 $
