Abstract

In transportation systems one of the main activities is the simulation of the supply system. For transit systems two approaches can be used: line-based approach, where all runs belonging to the same line are simulated in a single infrastructure line; run-based approach where the single runs are explicitly simulated. In this paper the two approaches are applied in the extra-urban supply system of Reggio Calabria province. In this area there are about 570,000 inhabitants and the supply has more than 1300 runs a day. The results obtained from the different supply approaches are discussed and they are used in other models of the general model as input for demand and assignment simulation, for evaluating service integration and operating costs. For the covering abstract see ITRD E124693.
