Potential Benefits of Demand Responsive Transport in Rural Areas: A Simulation Study in Lolland, Denmark

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
In rural areas with low demand, demand responsive transport (DRT) can provide an alternative to the regular public transport bus lines, which are expensive to operate in such conditions.

The actual demand behind demand-responsive transport: Assessing behavioral intention to use DRT systems in two rural areas in Germany [PDF]

open access: yesCase Studies on Transport Policy, 2020
Despite the potential capability of demand-responsive transport systems (DRT) to improve service quality of public transport in rural areas, existing DRT systems in Germany are often under-utilized.

On dynamic demand responsive transport services with degree of dynamism

open access: yesTransportmetrica A: Transport Science, 2014
The operation of a demand responsive transport service usually considers advanced and real-time requests. Previous studies focused on solution algorithms for routing and scheduling challenges of a pickup and delivery problem with time windows, but the ...

Citizen Centric Demand Responsive Transport

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2023
This extended abstract outlines the benefits of implementing citizen-centric design principles into a demand-responsive transportation optimization system. Demand-responsive transportation systems work on flexible schedules to predict and react to user demand in real-time.

Demand Responsive Transportation

2017
The term "demand responsive transportation" (DRT) refers to modes of transport that adjust the supply of services to the demand at any one time, including variations in schedule and/or variations in trip route. DRT is an important, but often overlooked, component of public transportation that provides unique opportunities and challenges for ...

Dynamic approach for a demand responsive transport service

2015 Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI), 2015
Demand Responsive Transport is a flexible transportation service that provides transport on demand by a fleet of vehicles, being especially useful in sparsely inhabited areas, which deal with a lack of transportation service. Users formulate requests specifying desired locations and times of pickup and delivery.

Comparing demand responsive and conventional public transport in a low demand context

2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communication Workshops (PerCom Workshops), 2016
Considering the sprawl of the cities, the conventional public transport (CPT) with fixed route and fixed schedule becomes less efficient and desirable every day. However, the emerging technologies in computation and communication are facilitating more adaptive types of public transport, such as Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) systems, which operate ...

Design of a Multiagent Solution for Demand-Responsive Transportation

2007
Mobility patterns in large cities has changed in the last decades making traditional fix-line public transportation no longer efficient to tackle the increasing complexity. Demand-responsive transportation leverages as an alternative where routes, departure times, vehicles and even operators, can be matched to the identified demand, allowing a more ...
