... Chapter 4. Schedule Blocking Ͱ.ͭ Basic Blocking (Level ͭ)
From page 120...
... The block refers to the work assignment for a single vehicle for a single service workday. Blocking is a main component of the scheduling process because it serves as the basis for the costs associated with operating the vehicle in revenue service and has a strong infl uence on the cost associated with work assignments for operators.
From page 121...
... In this manual, layover and recovery are calculated together and the total time between trips is referred to as "layover." platform time Platform time, a phrase derived from the early 20th century days when motormen and conductors operated from the "platform" of a streetcar, platform time includes all time when the operator is operating the vehicle. Layover time and pull-in and pull-out time are part of platform time, but report allowance and clear allowance, and travel time (unless part of a pull-in or pull-out)
From page 122...
... , and bicycle rack activity, many schedulers today provide more than ͭͬ% layover. Fifteen % is not unusual, and a number of systems schedule layover time as high as ͮͬ% of running time.
From page 123...
... Routes with a one-way loop at one or both ends create challenges for identifying a layover location, since riders will be on the bus throughout the loop and some passengers will experience a delay. Layover time may also be assigned at key mid-route transfer points (such as a rail station or major transfer point)
From page 124...
... It also ensures adequate layover time for each operator, an important factor in operatorfriendly assignments. Vehicles may travel between one route and another only once or only occasionally throughout the day.
From page 125...
... The schedule provides service every ͯͬ minutes from the fi rst eastbound trip at Ͳ:ͬͬ AM to the last westbound trip at ͳ:ͭͱ PM. Running times are consistent (i.e., do not change)
From page 126...
... The Basics Applicable work rules include the following: The minimum layover time is ͭͬ% of round-trip running time. Layover time may be taken at either terminal and may be divided in any way between the two terminals as long as the total layover time for any round trip is at least ͭͬ% of round-trip running time.
From page 127...
... For Route ͵ͳ, pullout times are listed in the Pull-out and Pull-in Allowance table shown below.

From page 134...
... Excessive layover time increases the number of vehicles and operators required on a given route. Recall that we calculate the number of vehicles required using the following formula: # Vehicles = Cycle time Headway where cycle time equals the round-trip running time plus layover time and headway is the time between trips.
From page 135...
... Calculating hours is not the most interesting task, but at least you do not have to keep track of every minor deadhead and service pattern and the number of times they are used. This is truly a routine that computers were built for.
From page 136...
... The same can be done for hours, or alternatively could be a sum of subtracting the trip arrivals from trip departures. A typical vehicle statistics summary called a block summary table may look like the following: T U V W X Y 1 2 3 4 Hours Summary 5 Block Garage Depart Garage Arrive Platform Hours 6 1 5:50 19:28 13:38 7 2 6:20 19:58 13:38 8 3 5:55 19:53 13:58 9 Total 41:14 10 11 12 Mileage Summary 13 Block Eastbound Trips Westbound Trips Pull Trips - "A" Pull Trips - "D" Mileage 14 1 9 9 2 0 124.0 15 2 9 9 2 124.0 16 3 9 9 0 2 130.6 17 Total 27 27 4 2 378.6 • • vehicle hours Total hours of travel by a vehicle, including hours in revenue service (including layover time)

... With a round-trip running time of ͲͲ minutes, we concluded that a cycle time of ͳͱ minutes would be optimal. As the new schedule was developed, trips were moved and layover time changed at terminals to make departure times consistent throughout the day.
From page 140...
... Note that this is a decision that never had to be made in the simple schedule, where headways and running times remained consistent throughout the day. The revised schedule also needs a new blocking sheet.
From page 141...
... The same thought process should be used for hooking the PM peak blocks. When the layover increases to a considerable amount and there is a later trip that can hook, pull in the earlier trip.

From page 144...
... Some routes may need more buses in the AM peak, because demand can be more highly concentrated in the morning -- everyone needs to get to work at the same time, but not everyone goes straight home from work in the afternoon, and school bell times in the morning coincide with the AM peak. Other routes may need more buses in the PM peak because running times are longer due to afternoon traffi c congestion.

... Schedule Blocking 4-60 Deadheading vs. Running in Service The Route ͵Ͳ example has introduced complexities typical of those facing schedulers, including multiple terminals, running times that change throughout the day, and considerations regarding other elements of the scheduling process, especially runcutting.

... Route ͭ operates every half-hour during peak periods and every hour during the midday, with a round-trip running time of ͱͱ minutes. Routes ͭͬ and ͮͬ operate every hour, with a roundtrip running time of roughly ʹͬ minutes.

... , layover time would be nine minutes, or ͭͭ% of the ʹͭ-minute running time. The changes to the school trips and Routes ͭͬ and ͮͬ are highlighted on the revised match-up sheet.
From page 181...
... If one route is tight for time on several trips while another route has plenty of time in its schedule, interlining the two routes (all day or in peak periods only) can help to ensure that no operator faces a situation of consistently minimal layovers.
From page 182...
... No operator would consistently experience less layover time than scheduled -- it would happen at the end of a Route ͭ trip, but more layover time than scheduled would be available at the end of the Route ͭͬ or Route ͮͬ trip. Change the match-up sheet so that Route ͭ trips are interlined with Routes ͭͬ and ͮͬ.

... Schedule Blocking 4-82 The change has added ͬ:ͭͱ to the total platform hours (ͭͯͰ:Ͱͬ before the ͵Ͳͬͮ-͵Ͳͭͮ swap, ͭͯͰ:ͱͱ now) , which results in a total increase of Ͱ:ͭʹ from the existing schedule before the running time and headway adjustments.
From page 200...
... Advanced Blocking Observations on the advanced blocking exercise include: When running times or headways change, you can expect to reblock all trips after the fi rst changes go into eff ect. In this case, all blocks (with the exception of the AM-only blocks)
From page 201...
... The task for the scheduler is to get the respective blocks back to their home garages while minimizing operator pay hours. In the simplest example, buses pull out to either end of the route or to a midpoint such as downtown.
From page 202...
... In cases where the labor agreement requires payment to drivers, the shuttles between the garage and the storage lot can be more frequent, on the order of every ͭͬ to ͭͱ minutes. The scheduler's responsibility here is to pick candidate blocks from the various routes and garages which would benefi t from this scheme.
From page 203...
... This can result in some unexpected situations, such as two buses passing each other while deadheading to each other's former route in order to shave a couple of minutes off vehicle hours. This is particularly true during off -peak periods where headways are generally stable and random interlines would not normally be considered as a way of saving hours.
From page 204...
... Opening a new garage usually triggers an analysis of this type. The scheduler's goal in route assignment is to minimize deadhead miles and hours within any system constraints (garage capacity, fueling capabilities, maintenance bays that can accommodate articulated buses)
