Abstract

A bus crew-scheduling plan is the most critical part in a bus operators’ operational information system (IS) as it involves large resources and cost. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for an optimum and dynamic crew scheduling by using the concept of a multi agent system (MAS) and meta-abilities, The framework suggests that meta-abilities create influencing skills, sharing attitudes and asking habits amongst the stakeholders of the bus crew scheduling system. Contrastingly, inﬂuencing skills, sharing attitudes and asking habits externalise tacit knowledge through the medium of ideas, actions, reactions and reﬂection. This externalise tacit knowledge in turn provides input for the system analyst to update the MAS- based crew scheduling system. It is concluded that the future focus when developing an optimum and dynamic bus crew scheduling should be toward an individual ’s meta-abilities development and MAS approach. There should also be an impetus towards creating the right organisational culture and infrastructure that promotes tacit knowledge externalisation and sharing within and between stakeholders,
