arXiv
pre-print
This paper proposes a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model and a matching-based heuristic algorithm to solve the balanced school bus scheduling problem in a multi-school setting. ...
In the school bus scheduling problem, the main contributing factor to the cost is the number of buses needed for the operations. ...
Due to the complexity of the problem, for larger instances, a matching based heuristic algorithm is proposed. ...

Heuristic solutions to the problem of routing school buses with multiple objectives
2002
Journal of the Operational Research Society
In this paper, we address the problem of routing school buses in a rural area. We approach this problem with a node routing model with multiple objectives that arise from conflicting viewpoints. ...
We develop a solution procedure that considers each objective separately and search for a set of efficient solutions instead of a single optimum. ...
