Integrated and Dynamic Vehicle and Crew Scheduling

Abstract

Due to increased competition in the public transport market and the pressure on governments to cut expenses, increasing attention has been paid to cost reductions in public transportation. Since the main resources used in public transportation are vehicles and crews, producing efficient vehicle and crew schedules is an important issue.
