Optimization method for joint scheduling of manned buses and autonomous buses

An optimization method for joint scheduling of manned buses and autonomous buses, comprising:

• step 1:
• discretizing a scheduling cycle into uniformly distributed time nodes, and setting a decision variable, wherein the decision variable represents the departure type at different time nodes;
• step 2:
• based on the departure number, the bus departure time, the passenger getting-on/off time, the boarding demand, the actual boarding number, the number of passengers getting off, the number of passengers delaying at stop, and the number of passengers on the bus, building a bus running simulation model;
• step 3:
• setting an operating cost function of the manned buses and the autonomous buses;
• step 4:
• determining a passenger waiting time cost;
• step 5:
• based on the operating cost function and the passenger waiting time cost, building an optimization model for joint scheduling of manned buses and autonomous buses;
• and
• step 6:
• solving the optimization model to obtain a joint scheduling scheme for manned buses and autonomous buses.
