摘要

This paper was prepared for Project 3,Management Systems for Urban Passenger Transportation,of the U.S. - U.S.S.R. Program for Scientific and Technical Cooperation on the Management of Large Cities. It includes a general description of three applications of the use of computers in urban mass transportation scheduling: (1) Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS), a computerized aid for transportation planners; (2) the Run Cutting and Scheduling (RUCUS) package that assists operation scheduling departments in developing vehicle schedules and driver work assignments form a given set of trip schedules; (3) real-time control systems for demand-responsive transportation (Dial-A-Ride).
