| Abstract | This article considers the overall crew management problem that arises from the daily operation of an urban transit bus company that serves the metropolitan area of the city of Belo Horizonte, in Brazil. Due to its intrinsic complexity, the problem is divided in two distinct problems, namely: crew scheduling and crew rostering. We have tackled each one of these problems using Mathematical Programming (MP) and Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) approaches. Besides, we also developed hybrid column generation algorithms for solving these problems, combining MP and CLP. The hybrid algorithms always performed better, when obtaining optimal solutions, than the two previous isolated approaches. In particular, it proved much faster for the scheduling problem. All the proposed algorithms have been implemented and tested over real world data obtained from the aforementioned company. The coecient matrix of the linear program associated with some instances of the scheduling problem cont... |
