The invention provides a country passenger and cargo mail
trunk road
bus scheduling method considering off-
station connection, which comprises the following steps of: dividing all-day
operation time into a plurality of unit
time domain windows, distributing in-
station passenger, cargo and mail demands in a
time domain to
bus shifts running in the
time domain, and generating an initial
bus shift path; inserting an off-
station passenger request into a
current time domain shift path by adopting minimum cost nearest neighbor
insertion, and calculating a
path cost increment for bypassing to a
demand point; accepting or refusing of the out-of-station request is dynamically decided by maximizing the objective function, and refused out-of-station passengers are served by the
branch connection vehicle; and outputting an out-of-station request acceptance / rejection matching result of the passenger end, the bus income and
time cost, and a
trunk bus running diagram of the bus end, and obtaining a final scheduling path. According to the invention, no-
load bus resources are fully utilized, the carrying efficiency, the response flexibility and the
tail end
accessibility of the
trunk bus are improved, and the
service coverage capability of the area outside the station is enhanced.
