Hybrid Cyclicity: Combining The Benefits Of Cyclic And Non-Cyclic Timetables

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Tomas Robenek

We propose a new type of timetable that would combine both the regularity of the cyclic timetables and the flexibility of the non-cyclic ones. In order to do so, several combinations of the two timetables are considered. The regularity is incorporated in t ...
