Scheduling Local and Express Service

Abstract

A common carrier transportation service, say a train, operates between points A and B. There are two classes of service---an express that goes directly from A to B and a local that makes one or more intermediate stops. The local, quite naturally, takes longer than the express. A model is developed for finding a jointly optimal schedule of local and express service. The model is solved by dynamic programming.
