title = "A mechanism design for bus fleet scheduling without demand estimation",
abstract = "A novel mechanism for demand-driven bus fleet scheduling is proposed for reducing traffic congestions in morning or evening commute. The schedule of the proposed bus system is updated daily by the operator, and the assignment of buses to users is determined via an online auction. An optimization problem that minimizes the total travel costs of the users is formulated to realize the bus system. Subsequently, a {"}pricing-and-scheduling{"} scheme is developed that consists of two problems: a pricing problem (an assignment problem) and a scheduling problem. A numerical example shows that the proposed scheme achieves optimal scheduling and assignment without resorting to demand estimation.",
