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 ...

Demand-responsive transit circulator service network design
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2015Abstract Commuter rail systems are being introduced into many urban areas as an alternative mode to automobiles for commuting trips. It is anticipated that the shift from the auto mode to rail mode can greatly help alleviate traffic congestion in urban road networks.

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 ...

Metropolitan Transit Agency's Experience Operating General-Public Demand-Responsive Transit
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013Since 2000 the Regional Transportation District of Denver, Colorado, has operated general-public demand-responsive transportation, branded as Call-n-Ride (CnR), in 21 service areas in a variety of settings throughout the district. CnR was developed for use in communities where bus service is not cost-effective because of low to moderate residential ...

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 ...

Modeling frequency of rural demand response transit trips
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2018Abstract Captive riders do not have many travel choices to meet the travel needs as fixed route transit services are not generally provided in rural areas. In many states, demand response transit (DRT) services are provided to meet such needs. However, state public agencies face the dilemma of whether to increase or decrease the service availability ...

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 ...

A simulation study of demand responsive transit system design
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2008In this paper we study the impact on productivity of specific operating practices currently used by demand responsive transit (DRT) providers. We investigate the effect of using a zoning vs. a no-zoning strategy and time-window settings on performance measures such as total trip miles, deadhead miles and fleet size.

As a follow-up to IRGC's report on demand-side flexibility for energy transitions, this Policy Brief highlights that increasing flexibility in power systems is needed to accommodate higher shares of non-controllable and intermittent renewable generation, and that this requires changes to the market design and regulatory framework, to facilitate the ...

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.
