Abstract:	摘要： Stochastic disturbances occurring in real world operations could have a significant influence on the planned routing and scheduling results for inter-school buses. An optimal schedule might therefore lose its optimality when applied in actual operations where stochastic disturbances occur. In this study we employ network flow techniques to construct an inter-school bus routing and scheduling model, considering the characteristics of inter-school buses for class attendance, under stochastic travel times. The model is formulated as a special multiple commodity network flow problem which is characterized as NP-hard. To efficiently solve realistically large problems a problem decomposition and variable fixing method, coupled with the use of CPLEX mathematical programming solver, is employed to develop a solution algorithm. Finally, computational tests are performed using data from an allied university system in Taiwan. The test results show that the model and the solution algorithm are good and therefore could be useful for actual operations. 其他題名： Netw Spat Econ 出版者： New York: Springer US 出版日期： 2015-12-01 出處： Networks and spatial economics, 2015-12, Vol.15 (4), p.1049-1074 資源來源： ABI/INFORM Collection 版權： Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 版權： Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015 識別號： ISSN: 1566-113X 識別號： EISSN: 1572-9427 識別號： DOI: 10.1007/s11067-014-9280-4
