The present invention relates to vehicle dispatch, in particular to a dynamic vehicle dispatch system.

Taking the bus is the main service of public transportation, and the departure time and frequency of the bus will affect the willingness of the public to take the bus. If there are not enough bus schedules in the time period when the demand is high, people will complain that the waiting time for the bus is too long. If there are times or areas where there is little demand for public transportation, such as remote villages, the number of buses still departs intensively, resulting in high personnel and fuel costs, giving the impression of wasting bus resources and reducing the operating efficiency of the operating company.

The formulation of the current bus schedule is based on the assumption of the demand distribution for the analysis of the public's riding demand, rather than the application of accurate riding demand data. Furthermore, under the current schedule, the public can only use the application (APP) to check the approximate arrival time of the bus to reduce the waiting time. However, it cannot dynamically respond to the temporary/immediate demand or changes in the traffic environment for the bus operator to update the information. deployment, thus limiting the further improvement of service quality. For example, the bus commuting to the expressway only provides seat service, but the peak time is often due to the large number of passengers and the seat restriction, so even if the bus stop time (or even the remaining vacant seats) is known, the information on the number of people waiting is still unknown. However, it was not possible to take the ride smoothly, resulting in a long wait.

At present, although some studies have used information such as passengers' electronic ticket data and bus dynamic system data to sort out the occupancy ratio of the number of people in the bus after each bus leaves the station and the shift distance data indicating the degree of density between shifts, and then apply the mathematical programming model.
