Abstract(in English) In this paper, we consider a problem of scheduling the route of mobile vehicles within a given service area in such a way that the waiting time and the transpotation time of each passenger are minimized. In particular, we are interested in a situation in which requests for the transportation from a source to a destination are given in an on-line manner and the number of mobile vehicles is restricted to one. A heuristic scheduling algorithm based on the coupon collection method is proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by simulation.
