A STUDY ON BUILDING PROCEDURE OF SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION NETWORK BASED ON PROCESS CONTROL METHOD

Abstract

This study uses PERT/CPM as a reference and aims to establish a procedure for constructing the conditions for a “public transport network that ensures quick transfers at hub stations (synchronized operation network)” at the lowest possible cost. PERT/CPM can be broadly divided into the stage of eliminating marginal schedules and the subsequent stage of additional improvement. In the former, critical works and floats are confirmed, and schedules shortening of critical works are repeated while eliminating float. On the other hand, the construction of a synchronous operation network can be roughly divided into elimination of waiting time at nodes and additional improvement afterward. The former work is the reference target of this research, and the waiting time equivalent to float in PERT/CPM is calculated from the temporal distance between nodes and the operation cycle, and the cross-section of the network is used to eliminate waiting time and shorten the time required for links. It was confirmed that a synchronous operation network could be realized by repeatedly implementing this method.
