| description | This Paper Discusses The Current Practices Of Bus Services Within A Chosen Town Council.
In This Service, The Driver’s Schedule Has To Be Sorted Out As The Bus Timetable Involves Large Constraints
And Requires Vast Amount Of Planning. Two Problems Were Studied, Namely The Overlapping Journey
Which Resulted In Competition Among The Company’s Own Buses And The “unfair� Distribution Of Tasks
Among The Bus Crews. We Propose The Use Of Integer Programming Model To Determine Whether
Adding An Interchange Would Improve Collections. Simple Rules Were Introduced In Rescheduling The
Buses That Attempted To Minimize The Frequency Of Buses Departing From The Main Station (Larkin
Terminal) At The Same Time. Using Excel Program With Visual Basic Application, We Develop A
Scheduler System To Generate The Weekly Timetable For The Drivers. This Software Has Demonstrated Its
Ability To Solve The Second Problem Of “unfair� Distribution Of Duties. The Result Of The Integer
Programming Model Shows That Adding An Interchange With Proper Allocation Of Buses Not Only Can
Increase The Daily Collections But Also Improve The Trip Frequency As Well. |
