A mathematical model is proposed for scheduling activities of periodic type. First a model is
proposed for scheduling periodic events with particular time constraints. This problem, which …

When a bus is late and behind schedule, the stop-skip** scheme allows the bus vehicle to
skip one or more stops to reduce its travel time. The deadheading problem is a special case …
