Driver scheduling based on "driver-friendly" vehicle schedules

چکیده
In the area of optimization of public transportation there are several methods for modeling and solving vehicle and driver scheduling problems. We designed a sequential heuristic method for solving the combined (vehicle and driver scheduling) problem. Our model is based on a modification of the vehicle schedules to satisfy driver requirements. We introduced a driver friendly approach of the optimization of the scheduling, which is closer to the practice used by public transportation companies. We give test results for this, which are shown as illustrative example for the method in the scheduling of the bus trips of Szeged city, Hungary.

Driver scheduling for vehicle schedules using a set covering approach : a case study ∗
A signi cant aspect of the transport companies is to decrease their operational costs. This can be done by optimizing their public transport services. Usually the operational cost of the transportation consists of the cost of the used vehicles and their drivers. It is a very complex task to solve such optimization problems and usually the optimized planning process is divided into more phases. ...
متن کاملTruck driver scheduling in Australia
In September 2008 new regulations for managing heavy vehicle driver fatigue entered into force in Australia. According to the new regulations there is a chain of responsibility ranging from drivers to dispatchers and shippers and thus, carriers must explicitly consider driving and working hour regulations when generating truck driver schedules. This paper presents and studies the Australian Tru...
متن کاملRoad Departure Avoidance System Based on the Driver Decision Estimator
In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...
متن کاملBranch-and-Price-and-Cut for the Vehicle Routing and Truck Driver Scheduling Problem
Many governments worldwide have imposed hours of service regulations for truck drivers to ensure that break and rest periods are regularly taken. Transport companies have to take these into account and plan the routes and schedules of their truck drivers simultaneously. This problem is called vehicle routing and truck driver scheduling problem (VRTDSP). With their paper “An exact method for veh...
متن کاملA dynamic driver management scheme for less-than-truckload carriers
This paper describes a scheme for the dynamic management of linehaul drivers developed for a large U.S. LTL carrier. Virtually all scheduling problems faced by transportation service providers are complicated by time-constrained vehicle operators that can be renewed only after resting. LTL driver scheduling is further complicated by the fact that trucking moves, unlike passenger airline flights...
