Vehicle Blocking
Vehicle blocking is where schedule efficiency meets operational reality. It’s the step that transforms timetables into executable transit operations while balancing service reliability, cost-efficiency, and fleet utilization.
This workshop is designed to equip your team with advanced skills to build leaner, smarter vehicle blocks by leveraging manual strategies and powerful HASTUS tools, including the Minbus algorithm for optimal trip shifting and garage allocation.
- Build blocking schedules within fleet and vehicle hour limits
- Encourage steady interlining for cost-smart solutions
- Integrate peak trippers into the full-day schedule
- Allocate vehicle types and garages to blocks and routes
- Factor charging needs and range limits for electric bus fleet
- Prepare blocks for clean and efficient runcutting
- Scheduling professionals
- Management-level stakeholders involved in scheduling policies and operator work rules.
- Blocking fundamentals and interlining strategies
- Identifying layover issues and terminal imbalances
- Visualizing efficiency with time-distance and block graph views
- Trip shifting and garage assignment using Minbus
- Using Object Groups and filters for scenario testing
- Blocking reports for cost and performance tracking
- Integration with runcutting goals (CrewOpt-ready blocks)
