    Abstract
  • This article introduces a metaheuristic algorithm for multi-objective transit bus and driver scheduling problems, such as fuel or electronic vehicles, single route/multiple routes, and driving the same bus on the same day in most transit companies in China.The work aims to minimize the fixed bus cost, the bus travel cost, the fixed driver cost, and the allowance for drivers and to satisfy various operational rules on vehicles and drivers.The algorithm starts from an initial solution and iteratively improves the solution by local search and perturbation.It is also enhanced by two search strategies such as population-based search and variable neighborhood decent search.The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on 62 single-route instances and 11 multi-route instances.There are three important findings for transit operations in China from the experimentation.Electronic vehicles may replace fuel buses by increasing 0.8% and 1.6% vehicles for single-route and multi-route instances, respectively.Compared with single-route scheduling, multi-route scheduling has the potentials to reduce 4.6% of vehicles and 2.4% of drivers.If the drivers are allowed to drive different buses in their daily works, the number of vehicles required can be reduced significantly, especially for the single-route instances.The general-purpose metaheuristic algorithm in the work is essential for developing intelligent public transit systems in China.
