Gautam Mitra, Ken Darby-Dowman · 1985
The crew scheduling system CRU-SCHED developed by the authors and implemented by Coras Iompair Eireann is described. Traditional approaches to crew scheduling via set partitioning and set covering are extended to a model which is more applicable to the scheduling task. The scheduling system is designed to be easy to use by schedulers with little computer experience. The system is menu driven and provides comprehensive data processing support including the provision of screen forms for data entry and amendment. The experience of regular use of the system has demonstrated the success of this approach to crew scheduling.
