VAMPIRES AND TASC: TWO SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED BUS SCHEDULING PROGRAMS. FROM THE BOOK COMPUTER SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Abstract

Two bus scheduling programs are described; both have been used in practical situations. The earlier and more powerful program, VAMPIRES, consistently leads to savings of five per cent or more in vehicle numbers. TASC is a simpler program, easier to understand and use, which does not apparently achieve as much. Recent experience is that the simpler program is more acceptable to bus operators.
