Allocation of Buses to Depots : A Case Study

Minimizing dead kilometres is an important operational objective of an urban road transport undertaking as dead kilometres mean additional losses. This can be achieved by formulating the underlying decision problem of allocating the buses to depots as a transportation problem. Using data from an urban road transport undertaking, R Sridharan shows how such a modelling can lead to significant reduction in dead kilometres. Given the need for fuel conservation under the current circumstances in our country, this will mean considerable saving in petrol consumption.
