In order to achieve flexible allocation of capacity resources, alleviate the waste of resources due to the imbalance between system supply and demand, and reduce the travel time loss due to vehicle stopping at stations and passenger transferring outside the vehicle, an adaptive scheduling method for bus based on AMV main-auxiliary function allocation was designed. An optimized scheduling model considering route coordination and station function division was established, with minimizing vehicle operating costs and passenger travel delays as the joint optimization objectives. A hierarchical adaptive heating particle swarm-simulated annealing algorithm was designed to solve the model. To verify the effectiveness of the model, an example test was carried out based on the bus operation data in Foshan City, and the results show that compared with the traditional fixed-capacity bus and station-responsive modular bus, the proposed model reduces the total cost of the system by about 35.62% and 6.54%, and the results of this research can help to improve the efficiency of bus operation and service quality.
