Optimal FIFO grouping in public transit networks

Data Structures and Algorithms 2024-07-02 v4

Abstract

This technical report is about grouping vehicles in public transport into routes so that two vehicles of a route do not overtake each other. We say that such a set of routes satisfies the FIFO property. A natural question is: Given a set of trips, find a minimal FIFO grouping into routes. This question is especially interesting for route planning algorithms since a better route grouping leads to a better runtime.
