Minimizing waiting times at transitional nodes for public bus transportation in Greece

摘要

Scheduling of transit networks is one of the most addressed problems at the mathematical optimization science, dueto the increase of public transportation in the last decade. Researchers have introduced various formulations toaddress the problem of timetabling, using different objectives like bus synchronization and passenger demand. Inthis paper we present two mixed-integer linear programming models with the objective of minimizing passengerwaiting times at transitional transfer nodes, taking into consideration high passenger demand that occurs at certaintimes.
