ABSTRACT
This project work is all
about design and implementation of a computer based scheduling system for a transport
company.
A computer based
scheduling system for a transport company generates optimal luxury bases and
driver schedules for a given dispatching scenario. It is a stand-alone windows
based application with extremely user’s friendly interface.
It consists of data
management and scheduling modules.
This project work with
vividly deal with the impact of computer based schedule system for a transport
company.
ORGANIZATION OF WORK
This research work takes
a look at the application of a computer in scheduling in a transport company,
that will generate optimal luxury buses and driver schedules for a given
dispatching scenario.
Chapter one introduce
the statement of the problems, explains the purpose of the study and the aims
and objectives of the research work. It gave the general overview of the
conventional method the extent it will cover (scope), its limitations and
definition of some terms related to scheduling.
Chapter two reviews the
related literature.
Chapter three described
and analysis the existing system. Fact finding method used are also discussed.
It explains the problems of the existing system and finally justifies the new
system.
Chapter four deals with
the actual research work done, designing of the new system computer base
scheduling also highlights the system requirement.
Chapter five discusses
the actual simulation of the new system.
Chapter six contains the
system documentation user manual.
Finally, chapter seven
briefly summaries concludes the project & recommends the user of the new
system.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
A scheduling situation
in a transport company develops when buses are expected to dispatch
effectively.
Scheduling needs the
dispatch and general information about routes to generate optimal
transportation resources schedules. Lack of management and scheduling modules
have cause a big problem for most transport companies. As a result of these
problems, these transport companies have not been able to present charts and
text reports for these companies.
These transport
companies can not export solutions as text files in MS Word or MS Excel.
Lack of scheduling
algorithms have led to lack of generating of the different resources schedules.
Lack of near-optimal
resources schedules generation have prevented benchmarking an existing
solution. Existing routes along with resources assignments can not be imported
into the system “as is’ and calculate to reproduce the benchmark solution. The
solution can not be generated and compared to the benchmark solution. The two
solutions cannot be compared in the form of reports and Grantt Charts to
identify opportunities for better resources utilizations.
Route data can not be
imported in the form of ASCLL files.
There is no data import
wizard that will guide user’s through a set up process for importing route data
into the system. Lack of data view to enable user’s to sort the routes based on
different criteria (route ID) Departure Time etc).
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This research work is
meat to find out whether the above mentioned problems can effectively be
eradicated by employing computer system to control the scheduling system of a
transport company. In other words, to find solution to these problems mentioned
above using a computer system.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim and objective of
this research work is to come up with a more suitable scheduling system in a
transport company. (A computer based scheduling system) that can eliminate
completely the above mentioned problems using a computer system. For instance,
to come up with a scheduling system that can generate optimal buses and driver
schedules for a given dispatching scenario.
Perhaps, the new system
will not just eradicate the problems which will automatically improve the
schedules.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This project work covers
every area of scheduling activities where a scheduling tool generates optimal
buses and drives schedules for a given dispatching scenario.
For instance, this tool
provides an estimate of required number of buses and drivers for a particular
dispatching scenario. It also generates resource scheduling that can result in
significant cost reduction by using the optimal number of resources required.
