平均发车间隔的公交车时刻表通常要求乘客根据给定的时刻表进行调整，而不是根据乘客需求的波动来调整时刻表。这种期望是不可靠服务的主要来源，延长了乘客在公共汽车站的等待时间，造成过度拥挤。制定了备选的公交时间表，以改善车辆出发时间与乘客需求的对应关系，同时尽量减少资源（所需的公共汽车数量）。提出了一种自动化的方法。随着交通可靠性问题的日益严重，以及乘客信息系统技术的进步，均匀和时钟间隔变得不那么重要。因此，从乘客和运营商的角度来看，可以实现更有效的调度。所提出的方法使用信息图形技术。这种方法使调度员能够检查巴士发车时间的变化，并获得有关预期平均乘客负载的即时反馈。
Bus timetables with even headways often require passengers to adjust to given timetables instead of adjusting the timetables to fluctuating passenger demand. This expectation is a main source of unreliable service that extends passenger waiting times at bus stops and creates overcrowding. Alternative transit timetables are created to improve the correspondence of vehicle departure times with passenger demand while minimizing resources (number of buses required). An automated method is presented. With the growing problems of transit reliability, and the advance in the technology of passenger information systems, even and clock headways become less important. Therefore, more efficient schedules from both the passenger and operator perspectives can be realized. The method presented uses an informative graphic technique. This approach enables the scheduler to examine changes in bus departure times and to obtain immediate feedback on the expected average passenger loads.
