Vehicle Planning, Scheduling and Dispatching

Vehicle Planning, Scheduling and Dispatching (VPSD) system provides a mechanism where business users can create vehicle schedules and crew duties for multiple routes. NEC’s VPSD consists of following 5 features, which are:

  • a.
    Master Data Management which will provide business users functionality of defining / configuring master data. User will be using these features to create stops, create routes, vehicle schedules and duties e.g., stop type, route type, station type and service type.
  • b.
    Station-Stops Management which will provide business users functionality of creating/ modifying Stations-stops that will be required in creating routes e.g., create station-stops, modify stop location, add facilities to each stop (Wi-Fi service, drinking water, etc), search station-stops, etc.
  • c.
    Route Management. Routes means a path defined from a source stop to a destination stop with sequence of defined fixed stops lying in between. Route Management module will provide business users functionality of creating/ modifying routes that will be required in creating vehicle schedules e.g., create/edit routes, search/view routes, active/inactive routes, etc.
  • d.
    Vehicle Schedule Management which will provide user’s functionality of creating/ modifying vehicle schedules which will be required in creating crew duties and crew schedules. This will also help us in identifying the number of vehicles required for a specific schedule e.g., create/edit vehicle schedule, search/view vehicle schedule, active/inactive vehicle schedule, etc.
  • e.
    Crew Schedule Management which will provide user’s functionality of creating the Crew schedules (automatically) that will be required by DMS in generating crew rosters. These crew schedule will be a combination of duties (spread over shifts) that will be created based on business rules (spread over time, platform time and other factors / regulations defined in Indian Motor Vehicle act) e.g., Auto Create Crew Schedule with considering i. Duty/ Platform Time (Hours), ii. Spread Over Time (Hours), iii. Tea Break Time, iv. Lunch Break Time, v. Incidental Time (Minutes), etc.
