Transfer Customization with the Trip-Based Public Transit Routing Algorithm

In the context of routing in public transit networks, we consider the issue of the customization of walking transfer times, which is incompatible with the preprocessing required by many state-of-the-art algorithms. We propose to extend one of those, the Trip-Based Public Transit Routing algorithm, to take into account at query time user defined transfer speed and maximum transfer duration. The obtained algorithm is optimal for the bicriteria problem of optimizing minimum arrival time and number of transfers. It is tested on two large data sets and the query times are compatible with real-time queries in a production context
