Abstract
A synchronized optimization model that integrated timetabling, vehicle scheduling and crew scheduling was developed according to the regional bus operating system and the multilevel programming in this paper to deal with the relative ineffectiveness of the traditional single-line and sequential bus operating model from the perspective of both utilizing the company's resources and meeting the passengers' trip demands. Simultaneously, the satisfaction criteria were initialized to select a set of the satisfied solutions instead of an only optimized outcome for the succeeding model to decide. Finally, an experiment with the Multilevel Nesting Taboo Search (MNTS) was given, and the computational results demonstrated that the model was reasonable and that the algorithm was efficient and feasible.
