Various transportation systems have been developed in recent years. In this study, an artificial society model is developed to examine the combination of transportation policies in urban areas. In this model, each trip maker selects the primary and terminal transportation modes. An artificial society model is applied to the southeastern region of Osaka City, Japan. The effects of introducing BRT (bus rapid transit, primary transportation) and on-demand buses (terminal transportation) are investigated. The results confirm that BRT is used by a certain number of users. An increase in the use of BRT will increase the amount of walking, thus resulting in a healthy city. However, on-demand buses are rarely used as terminal transportation. Additionally, the development of bicycle parking stations near BRT stops is shown to be effective in the northern section of the BRT route.
