<description>This study presents the methodology used by TRANSMILENIO S.A. –the company in&#xd;
charge of managing the BRT lines in Bogotá, Colombia– to renew its operational design.&#xd;
TRANSMILENIO S.A. is increasing its bus fleet by acquiring higher capacity bi-articulated&#xd;
buses. This process demanded a redefinition of the frequencies, stops, and type of bus for all&#xd;
routes in the system. Therefore, a line scheme was selected based on the number of trips&#xd;
between corridors. A non-linear optimization model was then used to establish an initial&#xd;
route design that could satisfy passenger demand in the morning rush hour.&#xd;
Five algorithms were implemented to adjust the initial route design to the actual restrictions,&#xd;
namely, fleet and bus capacity at stops. The algorithms modified the type of bus employed,&#xd;
the defined stops of routes, and eliminated low demand routes. Different alternatives were&#xd;
tested for the execution order of algorithms. The alternative to implement was selected based&#xd;
on compliance of the defined restrictions. Algorithms were iteratively run. Between&#xd;
iterations, a trip assignment model was used to adjust route frequencies based on demand.&#xd;
The execution order of algorithms, its impact on the level of service indicators, and&#xd;
compliance of restrictions are part of this study's discussion. Particular relevance and effects&#xd;
of each algorithm are also analyzed. Both methodology and results might be tested, adapted,&#xd;
and improved in further studies by other BRT systems as a reference or input for their own&#xd;
route design process.</description>
