VEHICLE SCHEDULING IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION WITH QUICK AND CUT TRIP INSERTIONS FOR FLEET SIZE REDUCTION

This paper presents the problems of urban transportation in developing cities and identifies the need for effective vehicle scheduling. How the deficit function approach and the practice of the transit operator gives the same fleet requirements is highlighted at the beginning. The concepts of Quick Trips and Cut Trips are introduced in the middle of the paper and procedures are developed to insert these trips in the trip schedule to achieve one unit of saving in the total fleet requirement on every fixed route. The procedures developed here are not only applicable to road transport systems but also to suburban railway systems in most of the developing countries.
