Abstract: In this paper, the design of experiment (DOE) technique is used to formulate the robust schedule for the single-direction transit route. Factors affecting transit schedule performance are classified into two categories: the controllable and the uncontrollable. With Taguchi design method, these two types of factors are crossed mutually to carry out the Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the expected and variance values of the total schedule deviation. Next, two Kriging metamodels are fitted to describe relationships between controllable factors and the total transit schedule deviation. Based on these Kriging metamodels, the Pareto-optimal solution of the robust transit schedule is obtained.
