Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Yindong Shen (AIA
Huazhong Uni).
The title is "Public transit planning and scheduling based on AVL data
in China".
The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, February 2 at 14:00 UTC.

The abstract follows.
The public transit operations planning process commonly includes the
following activities: network route design, service planning (frequency
setting and timetabling) and scheduling (vehicle scheduling, crew
scheduling and rostering). However, network route design is generally
the only one widely recognized, whilst service planning and scheduling
are often ignored in China. This leads to the lack of elaborate
timetables and schedules, hence, transit operation is often in disorder
with high operating costs. To raise the service level and the
utilization of resources, an applied study for three cities in China has
been conducted, focusing on the enhancement of the recognition and
execution of public transit planning and scheduling. A comprehensive
framework of public transit planning is first proposed, which is
composed of three traditional Chinese items (i.e. network route design,
land use for depots, and deployment of vehicles) and the following newly
added items: intelligent public transit system (iPTS) planning, service
planning, and scheduling. This is pioneering work in China, during which
an iPTS plan is conceived and a new vehicle scheduling approach based on
AVL data is developed. Experiments during actual projects show that
vehicle schedules with high on-time probability and low cost were
compiled, while the essential input parameters such as headways and trip
times were set automatically. It is anticipated that the research fruits
and practical experiences obtained would be of great benefit in
improving service and management levels and resource use in public
transport in China and some other developing countries.

The next talk in our series will be given by:
