For a public transport company, the process of defining trips offers is a central task because trips are the main product they have to offer to their clients. As in other business areas the offer should maximize clients’ satisfaction at a minimum cost. Traditionally, timetables were defined assuming a deterministic travel time. However, with the investments done in the last decade in Advanced Public Transportation Systems, a large amount of current data obtained from Automatic Vehicle Location systems is now available. This data can be used to enhance travel time modelling for timetable definition. This is the subject of this paper, which imposed us the study of how to use current data in order to better define timetables aiding public transport companies to accomplish their mission. We present a Decision Support System (DSS) for the special case of timetable adjustments, assuming therefore that the schedule under study is not new, i.e., there are actual trips for that schedule.
