Abstract

Nowadays and especially in the future, the employment of computer-aided systems in the planning and operational control of public transit companies forms an important basis for an increase in the attractivity of public transport as well as for an improvement in its efficiency. The areas in which traffic related systems may be applied are very complex, from strategic and operational planning, through operational control and monitoring, up to the analysis of the operational procedures.

With the introduction of extensive data-processing and due to the complexity of the data structure and the associated functions, some basic designation of tasks arises, which are here described and critically discussed. A computer configuration, suitable for an integrated system, is presented and explained. The conclusion presents a view of the possible improvements in individual areas, which could result from Operations Research.
