A Review on Bus Driver Scheduling And Optimization

Efficiency of any transportation system pivot on many parameters such as accessibility, reliability, comfort, frequency, safety etc. Vehicle scheduling and bus driver scheduling are also significant parameters which affects the quality of public transport system. For any public transport system to be successful optimization of all this parameters are required to gain maximum benefits to the operators as well as commuters at minimum cost. Following work focuses specifically on bus driver scheduling keeping in mind the labour agreement rules and the research on the optimization of bus driver scheduling using genetic algorithm, tabu search algorithm along with other heuristics has been reviewed.
