Abstract

In order to improve the operational efficiency and optimize the setting of bus stations, the efficiency evaluation model of bus stations based on data envelopment analysis method was established. Using the data obtained from ten typical bus stations in Beijing, the relative operational efficiency of the ten stations was obtained. Furthermore, the input redundant and output deficiency ratio were calculated, and the reason of the low-efficiency bus stations was diagnosed, which helps in distinguishing the key factors that influence the operational efficiency. Suggestions for bus stations optimization were given in the end. Case Study showed high applicability of data envelopment analysis in efficiency evaluation for bus stations, which provides a new thinking for the optimization of public traffic net and the setting of bus stations.
