This is our simulation of our project that counts the frequency of passengers travelling over 3 different

routes on an hourly basis. This simulation is fundamental for analyzing the trends in passengers
frequency for implementing a sustainable, efficiency and cost effective train transit system.
This is the table used to collect the data for the frequency of passengers and this is the graph generated
over 3 different routes
From data from these graphs , we can determine Mean and standard deviation for the frequency of
passengers at a specific hour interval
Using the mean we can probability of a certain number of people using the trains at a particular hour.
These will be used for future planning such as scheduling of train, to determine which capacity of trains
to use, and so on.

Aim: Maximize Ridership (for a duration of one week) //so our Objective Function:MAX (Total
Ridership)
Decision Variables:

x1= Number of trips for route A (Train Type A-heavy rail)

X2=Number of trips for route B (Train Type B-light rail)

List of Constraints:

A. Average Cost per Trip ($)

B. Operating cost of Trains ($)
C. Demand of passengers

Each constraints are graphed (A,Band C). The intersection of these lines establishes the feasible solution
space(left bottom corner of x/y plane)
We then used our objective function to isolines (parallel lines). And since we are to maximize our
function, this corresponds to the best set of operating characterisics
We determine the optimal solution by solving our constraint equations which determine the optimal
point here is the intersection of the red and green line and to a specific isoline.
Using this isoline we can determine our values for x1 and x2, the number of trips required over one
week to maximize ridership
