Abstract This paper addresses a school bus routing problem formulated as capacitated and time-constrained open vehicle with heterogeneous fleet single loads. incorporates several realistic features, such student eligibility, maximum walking distances, stop selection, riding times, different types of buses, multistops, dwell times. A heuristic algorithm based on an iterated local search approach...

This paper demonstrates the bus location system for the route bus through the experiment in the real environment. A bus location system is a system that provides information such as the bus delay and positions. This system uses actual services and positions data of buses, and those information should match data on the database. The system has two possible problems. One, the system could cost hi...

To retain and attract new riders, transit agencies are frequently in search for ways to improve system reliability. Transit agencies typically operate several routes that partially or fully overlay (or overlap) one another in order to offer a better service coverage to reach various destinations. While previous research has focused on understanding the general factors that impact headway adhere...
