First, [researchers] propose a bi-objective optimization model integrated with irregular headways under daily operations. Second, a sequential search algorithm is developed that independently optimizes the first objective to obtain an initial solution and iteratively searches the improved timetables to minimize the total transfer waiting time. 2, record 1, English, - sequential%20search%20algorithm
