Abstract
Capturing the requirements is an important activity in system development life cycle. It defines what are the user ’s need and help developers to design the right software for the user. Bus driver scheduling system is generally a complex system due to the large number of resources, complex driving hour rules and unpredictability of bus operation. This research focuses on the disruption by the unpredictable events to crew schedules and searches for ways to manage them. This paper presents the findings from interviews with three bus companies in London, and then analyse them. Based on the findings this paper proposes a set of functional requirements for a driver scheduling system that is able ta perform driver reassignment in real time given the occurrence of unpredictable events such as lateness for duty, sick on—duty. or driver absenteeism without prior notice. The proposed system aims to dynamically maintain optimality throughout day-to-day operations.
