A method to optimize the transfer waiting time of the waterbuses is presented. The operation time and frequencies of waterbuses are assumed to be fixed
a mathematical program model is built to coordinate the arrival times of different waterbus lines at the given wharf so that the total waiting time is minimized. The genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the model. The Xidi Wharf of Guangzhou Waterbus is chosen to test the model. The result indicates that the total transfer waiting time is significantly reduced. The proposed genetic algorithm is a fast and efficient method to solve the model with acceptable error.
