Abstract: Abstract In this work we address the concept of robust efficiency of resource schedules in public bus transport and airline industry, dealing with the competing objectives of cost-efficiency and robustness. Generalizing the findings from two research projects we provide techniques that lead to an improvement of the pareto-front between robustness and cost-efficiency. These techniques include the improvement of scheduling and optimization approaches as well as a refinement of delay prediction models enabling a robustness evaluation closer to reality. Additionally, problem characteristics in public transport and airline network topologies and their influence on the degree of freedom for robust resource scheduling and dispatching strategies are examined.
