Key Points

The research aims to develop a seat allocation method that guarantees adjacent seating for groups while increasing occupancy rates.
Proposed a heuristic approach for immediate reservation acceptance processing.
Combined immediate response solutions with batch processing during maintenance periods.
Utilized numerical experiments to evaluate calculation speed and accuracy of the proposed method.
Achieved an approximately 3-point increase in seat occupancy rate compared to traditional methods.
Maintained immediate response times during seat reservations.
Completed seat allocation decision processing within one hour.

Implication

A method demonstrates improved seat occupancy in public transport, suggesting a solution for group seating requests.
