The Vehicle Scheduling Problem (VSP) is a well-studied combinatorial optimization problem arising for bus companies in public transport. The objective is to cover a given set of timetabled trips by a set of buses at minimum costs. The Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem (E-VSP) complicates...

The Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem (E-VSP) complicates traditional bus scheduling for public transport by restricting the range of the buses. To compensate for these limitations, detours to charging stations become necessary in order to charge the vehicle batteries. Charging is a nonlinear...

This volume gives an overview on new theoretical approaches on computer-aided methods for strategic and operational planning in public transport. The papers of this volume cover the most important steps of the complete process of planning and operational control in public transport and public...
