Abstract:The city buses operating in the Urban Road Transportation Systems (URTS) cover various non-revenue generating distances without carrying passengers. One such distance travelled from a facility in the early morning to starting point of first trip and ending point of last trip back to the facility in the late evening is the 'dead kilometers or mileage' (DK). Since the mileage per unit of the fuel varies, minimizing DK cost (DKC) associated with allocation of city buses to facility (ACBF) problem is an ideal obje… Show more
