A Threshold Policy for Dispatching Vehicles in Demand-responsive Transit Systems

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2019
This paper considers vehicle dispatching for a flexible transit system providing doorstep services from a terminal. The problem is tackled with an easy-to-implement threshold policy, where an available vehicle is dispatched when the number of boarded ...

Impact of Competition on Quality of Service in Demand Responsive Transit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Demand responsive transportation has the potential to provide efficient public door-to-door transport with a high quality. In currently implemented systems in the Netherlands, however, we observe a decrease in the quality of service (QoS), expressed in longer travel times for the customers.

Novel model for integrated demand-responsive transit service considering rail transit schedule

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2022
<abstract> <p>This research aims to develop an optimization model for optimizing demand-responsive transit (DRT) services. These services can not only direct passengers to reach their nearest bus stops but also transport them to connecting stops on major transit systems at selected bus stops.
