DYNAMIC VEHICLE DISPATCHING IN A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

The study described is an operational research approach towards the effective design of advanced ground transportation systems. A stochastic model was constructed over a network with M stations connected arbitrarily by routes and the relationships between parameters were simulated by the model. The dynamic dispatching policy was examined and the probability density function of vehicle departure interval, average passenger waiting time, and average vehicle loading factor were derived.
