Abstract: In this article, we propose algorithms to address two critical transportation system problems: the Generalized Real-Time Line Planning Problem (GRLPP) and the Generalized Budgeted Multi-Visit Team Orienteering Problem (GBMTOP). The GRLPP aims to optimize high-capacity line plans for multimodal transportation networks to enhance connectivity between passengers and lines. The GBMTOP focuses on finding optimal routes for a team of heterogeneous vehicles within budget constraints to maximize the reward collected. We present two randomized approximation algorithms for the generalized budgeted multi-assignment problem (GBMAP), which arises when items need to be assigned to bins subject to capacity constraints, budget constraints, and other feasibility constraints. Each item can be assigned to at most a specified number of bins, and the goal is to maximize the total reward. GBMAP serves as the foundation for solving GRLPP and GBMTOP. In addition to these two algorithms, our contributions include the application of our framework to GRLPP and GBMTOP, along with corresponding models, numerical experiments, and improvements on prior work.
