Optimizing bus line platform assignment across bus stations in Utrecht

Bus Assignment to Iranian Pilgrims During Pilgrimage

Among the multitude of activities of Hajj Organization which require careful planning bus assignment to the Iranian pilgrim caravans d g pilgrimage is the most important one. The objective of this assignment is to have a minimum number o standing passengers/empty seats, while satisfying a large number of operational and religious constrain. This problem was formulated as a large scale zero-one ...

Fairness in optimizing bus-crew scheduling process

This work proposes a model considering fairness in the problem of crew scheduling for bus drivers (CSP-BD) using a hybrid ant-colony optimization (HACO) algorithm to solve it. The main contributions of this work are the following: (a) a valid approach for cases with a special cost structure and constraints considering the fairness of working time and idle time; (b) an improved algorithm incorpo...

Transit Assignment Model Based on Bus Stop

A public transit network differs from a general road network. The passenger flow of bus stops and the limited capacity of buses have a greater effect than road traffic flow on the running time of buses. As a result, conventional public transit assignment models that adopt the econometric road network path concept have numerous limitations. Based on the analysis, the generalized bus trip time ch...

Communication on a Segmented Bus Platform

In this study, we discuss communication aspects concerning a segmented bus platform. Placed somewhere midway between the classical system bus and the network on chip approaches, the segmented bus architecture provides certain performance improvements in comparison with the first, while employing a much simpler communication structure and algorithm than those thought for the second. Our implemen...
