Allocation of School Bus Contracts By Integer Programming
研究了公共交通招标中合同分配问题，提出整数规划模型处理车辆约束和组合折扣，并用大规模实例验证有效性。
When public transport is put out to tender, the task of allocating contracts to operators can be far from trivial. In addition to vehicle constraints, there can be group bids wherein a discount is offered for certain contracts in combination. An efficient integer programming formulation is presented which is then used to solve a large-scale real-life example.
