AB - As the elderly are rapidly increasing in recent years, the effective and efficient provision of welfare services for the elderly has been substantially discussed. Although the free shuttle bus was basically deployed as one of the modes to improve the travel convenience related to the transportation welfare for the elderly, it does not meet the demand for the elderly and is not utilized well due to the limited accessibility, uneven routing of the shuttle bus, etc. This paper aims to provide optimal routes for the free shuttle bus to improve the mobility of elderly people and to enhance the transportation welfare service using spatial optimization modeling. More specifically, as a case of Gwanak-gu, Seoul, we first present optimal locations of bus stops maximizing spatial accessibility, and provide optimized routes for the free shuttle bus which are made of important places considering elderly actual demands. It is expected that this study will provide a tangible and practical guideline for improving the mobility of various traffic disadvantages including elderly people.
