In the area of optimization of public transportation there are several methods for modeling and solving vehicle and driver scheduling problems.We designed a sequential heuristic method for solving the combined (vehicle and driver scheduling) problem. Our model is based on a modification of the vehicle schedules to satisfy driver requirements.We introduced a driver friendly approach of the optimization of the scheduling, which is closer to the practice used by public transportation companies.We give test results for this, which are shown as illustrative example for the method in the scheduling of the bus trips of Szeged city, Hungary.
