The network has a range of complexities that require sophisticated scheduling approaches A few challenges: ² Strong connectivity required with the heavy rail system ² A range of different route types, and sometimes vehicle types ² Some routes offer demand-responsive or flex-route configurations ² A number of dedicated school runs are operated and integrated (scheduling-wise) with the regular route services September 2012 12 Phillip Boyle & Associates

The project focus was to provide timetable and connectivity enhancements as part of a service change implementation The key project objectives were: ² Generate substantial service quality improvements ² Improve the understanding of connection requirements through additional research (Monash ITS – recommended the Net. Plan SQI as the most appropriate indicator of relative timetable quality) ² Provide network improvements ² Ensure the final solution is of sufficient operating robustness to be implemented ² Provide a completed operating solution September 2012 14 Phillip Boyle & Associates

The Net. Plan Service Quality Index indicated significant improvements to timetable quality, and these were supported by a detailed comparison of the timetables…. . Why use the SQI? ² Allows an objective comparison of different options or solutions ² Enables better understanding of the tradeoff between cost and quality ² Recommended by Monash ITS research as the best method for evaluating timetable quality The SQI for the off-peak indicated a doubling of timetable quality but needed less vehicles September 2012 23 Phillip Boyle & Associates
