Abstract

Scheduling system is the hardcore of Bus Rapid Transit system. Intelligent dispatching system should posses the ability of coping with real-time traffic information as well as setting time-tables. In this paper, a distributed scheduling system for BRT is built based on certain researches into scheduling theory and multi-agent theory. In this system, all related traffic facilities are regarded as special agents. Self-government operation and intervention-coordination control are the two modes of this system to perform scheduling work. Finally the preliminary framework of this system is presented.
