Hybrid scheduling methods improve bus driver assignment results
What the study found The study found that a tightly integrated mix of exact optimization and heuristic search produced state-of-the-art results for the bus driver scheduling problem, which is the task of designing driver shifts to cover planned bus tours under legal and contract rules. The authors report exact solutions for small instances and low…
