T1 - Allocation of school bus contracts by integer programming
AU - Letchford, A N
PY - 1996
Y1 - 1996
N2 - When public transport is put out to tender, the task of allocating contracts to operators can be far from trivial. In addition to vehicle constraints, there can be group bids wherein a discount is offered for certain contracts in combination. An efficient integer programming formulation is presented which is then used to solve a large-scale real-life example.
