Factors influencing productivity and operating cost of demand responsive transit [PDF]
Transportation Research, Part A: Policy and Practice, 2008 Since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1991 operating expenses for demand responsive transit have more than doubled as demand for this mandated service has expanded. Many advanced technologies and management practices have been proposed and implemented to improve the efficiency of the service; but, evidence for the effectiveness ...

USING SMART TECHNOLOGIES TO REVITALIZE DEMAND RESPONSIVE TRANSIT
I V H S Journal, 1994Abstract Demand responsive transit, the first “smart” public transportation service, was an ambitious attempt to use “breakthrough” technologies of the early 1970s—the minicomputer and 3GL computer languages—to develop a new form of public transit. However, as experience was gained with Dial-A-Ride, it became apparent that the automated features of ...

Demand-Responsive Transit, Evaluation Studies
2021Demand-responsive transit (DRT) is a flexible form of public transport that adjusts the service based on travelers’ needs. DRT usually operates as feeder services to traditional transit systems, providing connectivity to low density and rural areas. DRT systems also serve a social role by providing mobility alternatives to elders, people with reduced ...

Organisation of Demand-Responsive Transit
2014Tijekom posljednjeg desetljeća usluge prijevoza po pozivu (DRT) razvile su se iz više razloga, uključujući: nedostatke konvencionalnih autobusnih i taksi usluga, nedostatke posebnih usluga prijevoza i zbog novih kretanja u razvoju prijevoza. Tradicionalne usluge prijevoza po pozivu često su bile kritizirane zbog relativno visokih cijena prijevoza ...

Meta-Heuristics for a Class of Demand-Responsive Transit Systems
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2005The demand-adaptive systems studied in this paper attempt to offer demand-responsive services within the framework of traditional scheduled bus transportation: Users call to request service between two given points and, in so doing, induce detours in the vehicle routes; at the same time, though, a given set of compulsory stops is always served ...

Demand Responsive Feeder Transit Scheduling with Flexible Service Quality
2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Engineering (ICITE), 2020Demand responsive feeder transit is a transportation mode providing transportation service between travel destinations or origins and hub stations. In order to exploit the flexibility of the demand responsive feeder transit system while maintaining its economy, this paper introduces travel freedom of requests in terms of range of service quality of ...

Scheduling of Demand‐Responsive Transit Vehicles
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1984This paper presents a vehicle dispatching procedure designed to minimize empty vehicle travel and idle time for a demand-responsive transportation system. The method schedules the empty vehicle assignment between passenger drop-off points and passenger pick-up points by examining the times of drop-offs and pick-ups, and the travel times and distance ...

Relaxation methods for fixed route demand responsive transit
Transportmetrica B: Transport Dynamics, 2022This article examines a partially responsive ride-sharing transit service with predetermined cyclic routes and deterministic travel times. The main operational challenge is setting the time schedule, which varies from day to day in response to upfront passenger requests.

Real-time scheduling rules for demand responsive transit systems
SMC'98 Conference Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Cat. No.98CH36218), 2002The scheduling of vehicles for demand responsive transportation systems is a classic combinatorial optimization problem. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that transit agencies provide para-transit or on demand service for the disabled, there has been renewed interest in demand responsive transit. In this paper, we

Adaptive Memory Programming for a Class of Demand Responsive Transit Systems
2001In this paper we discuss Demand Adaptive Systems (DAS) which are intended as a hybrid public transportation system that integrates traditional bus transportation and on demand service, DAS lines regularly serve a given set of compulsory stops according to a predefined schedule and regardless of current demand.
