It consists in finding lines and corresponding frequencies in a network such that a giv en demand can be satisfied. There are two objectives. Passengers want to minimize travel times, the transport company wishes to minimize operating costs. We investigate three variants of a multi-commo dity flow model for line planning that differ with respect to passenger routings. The first model allows arbitrary routings, the second only unsplittable routings, and the third only shortest path rou tings with respect to the network. We compare these models theoretically and computationally on data for the city of Potsdam.}, language = {en} } @misc{BorndoerferGroetschelPfetsch2005, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Gr{\"o}tschel, Martin and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {A Column-Generation Approach to Line Planning in Public Transport}, doi = {/10.1287/trsc.1060.0161}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-8522}, number = {05-18}, year = {2005}, abstract = {The line planning problem is one of the fundamental problems in strategic planning of public and rail transport.

The article gives evidence that there exist significant potentials in this direction, which can be harnessed by a combination of modern mathematical methods and local planning knowledge. Many of the planning steps in public transport are classical combinatorial problems, which can be solved in unprecedented size and quality due the rapid progress in large-scale optimization. Three examples on vehicle scheduling, duty scheduling, and integrated vehicle and duty scheduling illustrate the level that has been reached and the improvements that can be achieved today. Extensions of such methods to further questions of strategic, online, and market-oriented planning are currently investigated. In this way, OR can make a significant contribution to answer the basic but extremely difficult question ``What is a good public transport network?.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BorndoerferGroetschelPfetsch2008, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Gr{\"o}tschel, Martin and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {Models for Line Planning in Public Transport}, volume = {600}, booktitle = {Computer-aided Systems in Public Transport (CASPT 2004)}, editor = {Hickman, Mark and Mirchandani, Pitu and Voß, Stefan}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-73312-6_18}, pages = {363 -- 378}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{BorndoerferGroetschelPfetsch2007, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Gr{\"o}tschel, Martin and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {A Column-Generation Approach to Line Planning in Public Transport}, volume = {41}, journal = {Transportation Science (INFORMS)}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1287/trsc.1060.0161}, pages = {123 -- 132}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{BorndoerferKarbsteinPfetsch2012, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Karbstein, Marika and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {Models for Fare Planning in Public Transport}, volume = {160}, journal = {Discrete Applied Mathematics}, number = {18}, doi = {10.1016/j.dam.2012.02.027}, pages = {2591 -- 2605}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @misc{BorndoerferGroetschelPfetsch2004, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Gr{\"o}tschel, Martin and Pfetsch, Marc}, title = {Models for Line Planning in Public Transport}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-73312-6_18}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-7854}, number = {04-10}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The \emph{line planning problem} is one of the fundamental problems in strategic planning of public and rail transport.
