A hybrid model for crew scheduling in rail rapid transit networks

Abstract: Human resources related problems are of vital importance for all the companies. Within the transportation world, they usually represent a very important part of the overall expenses. This paper presents a network-flow based crew scheduling model for rapid transit networks, where distances are not big but service frequency is very high. The crew scheduling problem has been traditionally modeled as a set covering/partitioning problem. Here, the presented approach faces the problem in a different way taking benefit from a linear payment policy and enabling an easier integration with other planning problems such as rolling stock circulations.
