Real-time optimization model for dynamic scheduling of transit operations Fu, Liping ; Liu, Qing
Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2003Description: nr 1857, s. 48-55Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8169:2003 Ref ; VTI P8167Location: Abstract: A new transit operating strategy is presented in which service vehicles operate in pairs with the lead vehicle providing an all-stop local service and the following vehicle being allowed to skip some stops as an express service. The underlying scheduling problem is formulated as a nonlinear integer programming problem with the objective of minimizing the total costs for both operators and passengers. A sensitivity analysis using a real-life example is performed to identify the conditions under which the proposed operating strategy is most advantageous.| Cover image | Item type | Current library | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Materials specified | Vol info | URL | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | Item hold queue priority | Course reserves | |
