Computer models for scheduling buses and their crews

A group of computer methods which have been developed to solve problems of bus and bus crew scheduling are presented. The major models are those which allocate vehicles to trips and which allocate crews to vehicles. These have been used in a large number of bus undertakings, and considerable savings have resulted. Other models deal with the construction of bus timetables from passenger demand data and the rostering of bus crews. (A)
