AUTOMATING EXTRABOARD ASSIGNMENTS AND COACH OPERATOR TIMEKEEPING. FROM THE BOOK COMPUTER SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT

A well-designed, modular software systems approach streamlines the entire scheduling, bidding, daily dispatch, operator timekeeping and control process of a transit property. Significant economies and improved management efficiency and control are realised with computer assistance for these several functions. This paper presents an overview of the conceptual approach, with features of the applications software, and describes three key modules and their linkages, the bidding, timekeeping, and extraboard rostering and dispatching systems.
