Abstract
In the paper the static and dynamic transfer optimization problems are formulated and solved for various objective functions. In the static case these functions are related to different moments of the transfer waiting time (i.e. mean value, second order moment, variance and probability of not exceeding some fixed treshold waiting time value). The analytical solutions with Shifted Truncated Exponential randomness representation of the vehicles travel times, are presented and compared on an illustrative example for two cases: no holding and punctuality holding control realized at transfer point This is followed by the formulation and solution of the problem of synchronizing different lines which partly use common route segments. In the dynamical case a measure of off-schedule deviations is used as the objective function and optimal transfer synchronization problem is numerically illustrated by real example. Finally, practically important conclusions and implementation possibilities are suggested.
