In this paper, a transit assignment model has been developed on stochastic networks, with considering vehicle capacity and scheduled timetable. The stochastic network based transit assignment model is appropriate to apply for bus and metro networks altogether since it can distinguish between uncertain and reliable travel times characteristics by imposing stochastic parameters on links or lines....

The timetabling problem is always a difficult task which comes up every calendar year in educational institutions. More especially if it has to be done manually. Various institutions of learning across the country are being faced with a lot of difficulties preparing examination timetable. Most of this problems are usually attributed to the constant increase in the number of students and courses...

Previous work applying genetic algorithms to solve the school timetabling problem have generally used a direct representation, in which each chromosome represents a timetable directly. This study proposes and evaluates a genetic algorithm employing an indirect chromosome representation. Each chromosome is a string comprised of instructions which are used to build a timetable. The fitness of eac...

The task of creating a university timetable has always been a difficult one. In the UK, the recent growth in student numbers and the adoption of modular degree structures by many institutions has made scheduling of university courses and exams an even bigger problem than it used to be. In this paper we will discuss automatic timetable generation. We will consider the use of traditional methods ...

The www.school-timetable.eu system is a modern fully automated timetable scheduler based on constraint priorities. This storyboard document presents some interesting aspects of its construction and the idea behind it and also shows practically how, in simple steps, a user can enter his timetable criteria and receive a solution. The demo comprises showing the architecture of the system, the appl...

A hierarchical timetable is one made by recursively joining smaller timetables together into larger ones. Hierarchical timetables exhibit a desirable regularity of structure, at the cost of some limitation of choice in construction. This paper describes a method of specifying hierarchical timetables using mathematical operators, and introduces a data structure which supports the efficient and f...

The integration of fossils, phylogeny, and geochronology has resulted in an increasingly well-resolved timetable of evolution. Life appears to have taken root before the earliest known minimally metamorphosed sedimentary rocks were deposited, but for a billion years or more, evolution played out beneath an essentially anoxic atmosphere. Oxygen concentrations in the atmosphere and surface oceans...

The authors of this paper were tasked to create an automated campus-wide timetabling system, for both course and examination timetable scheduling, for the National University of Singapore. This paper explains the development and design of the exam-scheduling portion of the University Timetable Scheduler (UTTS) software. The preliminary results of the application of the AC3 algorithm on this pro...

The scheduling of train services is subject to a number of constraints describing railway infrastructure, required train services and reasonable time-intervals for waiting and transits. Timetable planners at Dutch Railways are nowadays supported by a software tool, called CADANS, which produces a feasible timetable on an hourly basis. In this paper, connection requirements between train series ...
