Abstract

As we have seen in the previous chapters, solving public transport problems as integrated problems instead of sequentially can lead to significant improvements in solution quality but at the same time makes the problem much harder to solve. In this chapter, we have a look at general multi-stage problems and we compare the solution quality of integrated and sequential solution approaches.
