The authors have iteratively solved this problem as a function of scenariobased, long-term travel demand changes, and finally have analysed the generated results. As a product of the computations, it has been proved that the solution of the mixed MTLC&VDL decision problem depends on changes in travel demand, both in terms of the line construction and the location of the depot. 5 and 10% increase of travel demand leads to changes in the optimal mass transit line’s configuration, while the change of the optimal depot location takes place with 10% of the travel demand change. The results have implied a conclusion that to make strategic decisions on transport systems and solving mixed decision problems, forecasting travel demand changes (its volume and structure) over the long-term horizon has to be performed.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.18.090.8695}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/the-impact-of-long-term-travel-demand-changes-on-mixed-decision-problems-of-mass-transit-lines-construction-and-vehicles-depots-location} }
