Optimization in Public Transportation: Stop Location, Delay Management and Tariff Zone Design in a Public Transportation Network (2006)Hardcover - 2006, 31 October 2006

Customer-Oriented Optimization in Public Transportation develops models, results and algorithms for optimizing public transportation from a customer-oriented viewpoint. The methods used are based on graph-theoretic approaches and integer programming. The specific topics are all motivated by real-world examples which occurred in practical projects: Location of Stops, Management of Delay, and Tariff Zone design. An appendix summarizes some of the basics of optimization needed to interpret the material in the book.
