Train driver scheduling with windows of relief opportunities
Train driver scheduling is the problem of finding an assignment of drivers to cover all train vehicle work, such that cost is minimized while all constraints are satis¯ed. Relieving of drivers happens mostly at train stops; in many cases the train will stop for several minutes, giving rise to a …
