A Bilateral Matching Method Of Decision-Making For Customized Buses From Overall Perspective

Sustainable development is of great significance to rapidly urbanized countries.As the cornerstone for urbanization,public transportation and customized buses need to raise attraction.And customized buses operation and management research has become a hot topic.With the increasing demand of commuters,traffic congestion in rush hours is becoming more and more serious,which often leads to a series of problems such as frequent accidents and air pollution.The unbalanced demand between customized buses and commuters make it difficult for commuters to choose similar routes,which restricts customized bus personalized service.Hence,the key motivations of this research can be recapitulated as balancing the needs of customized buses and commuters,and find a suitable matching.So as to improve the service quality and operation efficiency of customized buses.At present,researches focus on the optimization of customized buses fixed line network.Moreover,the solution of the problem is only consider from the perspective of customized buses operators,and less consideration is given to the subjective psychological expectations and needs of commuters.Therefore,to analyze the matching problem of customized buses supply and demand,and to give a solution to the characteristics of this problem,not only has important theoretical value,but also has certain practical significance.The research work of this paper mainly includes the following aspects:(1)This paper analyzed the research problem of the matching of customized buses supply and demand and propose the theoretical research framework of the matching problem of customized bus supply and demand according to the characteristics of the decision-making problem.Firstly,the research object of customized bus supply and demand matching is made clear.Then,by exploring the characteristics of customized bus service and combining with the actual demand of travelers,the research problem of customized bus supply and demand matching is extracted and described formally.Finally,according to the characteristics of the matching problem of supply and demand between the two sides,the theoretical framework of the research of relevant decision methods is put forward.(2)Based on the matching decision problem of supply and demand between the two sides considering the satisfaction of customized buses and commuters,an optimization model was established by using the bilateral matching decision method.Four data types,clear number,interval number,triangular fuzzy number and intuitionistic fuzzy number,are used to represent the attribute information of the subject comprehensively.By introducing the grey correlation analysis method,the expectation level and the evaluation information distance between the commuters and the customized buses are calculated,so as to express the satisfaction degree of both parties.A bilateral matching decision method based on the optimization model is proposed.(3)According to the matching problem of supply and demand between customized buses and commuters,a multi-objective bilateral matching optimization model was established from the perspective of the satisfaction of the matching subject,the stability and equity of the matching scheme,and the optimization objectives of maximum matching correlation degree,minimum correlation deviation and maximum matching logarithm.Taking the customized buses in xi ’an as an example,the solution is solved by Lingo software to match the appropriate customized bus for commuters,so as to balance the needs of both sides as far as possible.The method proposed in this paper can solve the matching decision problem of customized buses to a certain extent.At the same time,it can be extended to other fields related to supply and demand matching.The decision method proposed in this paper provides some theoretical basis and support for the research of customized bus operation management and customized bus personalized recommendation system.
