Public Transport Network Restructuring, LRT/BRT Systems Planning, Passenger Demand Modelling, and Service Optimization
Axiom contributed to the Isfahan Public Transportation Studies project, a six-month consultancy assignment for the Municipality of Isfahan, covering a major urban study area with a population of approximately 2,219,000. The project aimed to improve the performance, coverage, and efficiency of the city’s public transportation system through a comprehensive review and redesign of the existing network.
The scope included planning and optimization of LRT, BRT, and bus lines, travel matrix estimation, timetable-based assignment, and public transport modeling using PTV-VISUM. The study evaluated the redesigned network’s performance and provided practical recommendations to enhance connectivity, accessibility, service quality, passenger demand coverage, and sustainable urban mobility.
