Generalized Algorithms for Crew Planning: Survey and Future Directions for Railways

10th Swiss Transport Research Conference, Ascona, Switzerland

This paper studies the crew planning problem as observed in the transportation industry. We first survey the existing literature on crew scheduling applications in railways and airlines. Next, we identify the synergies in the two domains and propose new directions for railway crew scheduling inspired from the applications in airlines.
