Synopsis

This proceedings volume consists of papers presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transpon, which was held at the Fund~lio Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon from July 6th to 9th, 1993. In the tradition of alternating Workshops between North America and Europe - Chicago (1975), Leeds (1980), Montreal (1983), Hamburg (1987) and again Montreal (1990), the European city of Lisbon was selected as the venue for the Workshop in 1993. As in earlier Workshops, the central theme dealt with vehicle and duty scheduling problems and the employment of operations-research-based software systems for operational planning in public transport. However, as was initiated in Hamburg in 1987, the scope of this Workshop was broadened to include topics in related fields. This fundamental alteration was an inevitable consequence of the growing demand over the last decade for solutions to the complete planning process in public transport through integrated systems. Therefore, the program of this workshop included sections which dealt with scheduling problems and computerized systems for operational planning as well as sections on network planning and data management.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume gives an overview on new theoretical approaches on computer-aided methods for strategic and operational planning in public mass transit. Interesting results in scheduling theory are shown, using procedures for solving combinatorial problems with more complex structures. Experiences in the application of specific software tools are also presented. Readers of this book obtain detailed information on the current developments in scheduling theory and in solving such problems in practice. The papers of this volume describe the most important steps of the complete process on planning and operational control in public mass transit.
