A GRASP-based Approach for Demand Responsive Transportation
International Journal of Transportation, 2014 Demand Responsive Transportation (DRT) systems try to provide quality public transportation in low, variable and unpredictable demand scenarios, with routes and frequencies that may vary according to observed demand, possibly in real-time. The design and operation of DRTs involve multiple criteria and have a combinatorial nature that prevents the use ...

A demand-responsive decision support system for coal transportation [PDF]
Decision Support Systems, 2012 In this paper, a demand-responsive decision support system is proposed by integrating the operations of coal shipment, coal stockpiles and coal railing within a whole system. A generic and flexible scheduling optimisation methodology is developed to identify, represent, model, solve and analyse the coal transport problem in a standard and convenient ...

Optimization of demand-responsive transport: The rolling horizon approach
Procedia Computer Science, 2023 Demand-responsive Transport (DRT) is a popular topic in the field of transportation. The rolling horizon approach can be used to achieve an efficient operation of the DRT system in the context of trip pre-booking. In this study, a rolling horizon optimizer is implemented and used in an agent-based transport simulation framework. A series of experiments

Multi-day fair collaboration in demand-responsive transportation
Central European Journal of Operations Research, 2023 AbstractIn this paper, we consider the case of companies that offer a demand-responsive transportation service, such as a shared-taxi service, and are engaged in a horizontal collaboration initiative. The goal of the coalition is to optimize the transportation operations in such a way that no company is penalized, in terms of customers served and/or ...

Demand Responsive Transport: A Review of Schemes in England and Wales [PDF]
Journal of Public Transportation, 2009 Local-authority-administered Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) schemes are increasingly prevalent in England and Wales, partly as a result of the growth in the availability of government funding. However, insufficient research has been undertaken into the nature of these schemes and their performance, making it difficult to predict their future role ...
