Abstract
Transit systems are characterized by networks with extensively overlapping routes, and frequently operating at or close to its capacity. This research addresses the problems of scheduling the buses from terminals and allocating a fleet of buses between routes in the system. An attempt is given to develop a model which recognizes the information on the time dependence of passenger arrival rate, running time between stops, bus capacity, O-D trip pattern and some parameters related to the relationship between dwell time and boarding and/or alighting passengers known under deterministic conditions. The solution developed is based on the decomposition of bus routes into single bus routes and proposed to be the central element of a short-range bus service planning process.
