Mathematical programming models for airline seat inventory control provide booking limits and bid-prices for all itineraries and fare classes. E.L. Williamson [Airline network seat inventory control: methodologies and revenue impacts, Ph.D. thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,...

This paper discusses a decision support system for airline and railway crew planning. The system is a state-of-the-art branch-and-price solver that is used for crew scheduling and crew rostering. We briefly discuss the mathematical background of the solver, of which most part is covered in the...

In this paper we propose a Branch and Price algorithm for solving multi-periodsingle-sourcing problems. In particular, we generalize a Branch and Price algorithm thatwas developed for the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) to a class of convexassignment problems. We then identify an important...

This paper presents a dynamic approach to the vehicle scheduling problem. We discuss the potential benefit of our approach compared to the traditional one, where the vehicle scheduling problem is solved only once for a whole period and the travel times are assumed to be fixed. In our dynamic...

This paper deals with a practical application of an integrated approach to vehicle and crew scheduling, that we have developed previously. Computational results have shown that our approach can be applied to problems of practical size. However, application of the approach to the actual problems...
