Integrated Optimization Strategy for Sustainable Shared Designated Driver Ferry Vehicle Scheduling by Siqi Wang, Jingbo Yin, Rafi Ullah Khan

“…A two-stage matching model for driver and customer supply and demand matching and driver ferry vehicle dispatching is designed in order to optimize the total distance travelled and minimize the generalized deviation costs. A maximum residual time adjustment algorithm is designed to reduce the logarithm of new interference demand, and a tabu search algorithm is used to solve the schedule adjustment scheme for ferry vehicles. …”
