Abstract

The planning control and implementation of an urban transportation
system is a complicated decision process. In practice, due to its complexities,
the problem has to be divided into sub problems considering only certain
aspects of such a system. Hence the focus of the present paper is on the
vehicle time-tabling and scheduling aspects of a city transportation system. A
computer software package for an urban road transport manager in his
day-to-day operations is developed. It can also be used for planning purposes.
The transport sector in any city is generally managed by public sector
organizations. Such systems are very complex. As noted by Brill 1979:
“Designing a solution to a public sector problem is largely an art”.
