Title: OPTIMAL BUS SCHEDULING ON A SINGLE ROUTE
Accession Number: 00373400
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This paper develops a method for scheduling bus runs on a single route so as to minimize the total waiting time for patrons. The demand for bus travel is assumed to be time-dependent with a given origin-destination pattern. The problem is formulated as a mathematical program subject to bus capacity and possible other (e.g., service standards) constraints. A dynamic programming procedure is suggested for the solution of this program. Finally, some issues associated with optimization of the schedule under stochastic demand are explored as well. (Author)
