Abstract

In this research, we study a transportation problem which is concerned with vehicle routing and driver scheduling for a bus station. The problem requires drivers to provide pick-up and delivery services to customers, subject to vehicle capacity limitation and time constraints. The objective is to efficiently schedule the fleet of vehicles for customer demand so as to reduce costs.
