الوصف: | This paper proposes a new formulation for the school bus scheduling problem (SBSP) which optimizes school start times and bus operation times to minimize transportation cost. Our goal is to minimize the number of buses to serve all bus routes such that each route arrives in a time window before school starts. We present a new time-indexed integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for this problem. Based on a strengthened version of the linear relaxation of the ILP, we develop a dependent randomized rounding algorithm that yields near-optimal solutions for large-scale problem instances. We also generalize our methodologies to solve a robust version of the SBSP. |
