A Survey on Demand-Responsive Transportation for Rural and Interurban Mobility.

open access: yesInternational Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence, 2023
Rural areas have been marginalized when it comes to flexible, quality transportation research. This review article brings together papers that discuss, analyze, model, or experiment with demand-responsive transportation systems applied to rural settlements and interurban transportation, discussing their general feasibility as well as the most ...

Perspectives of mobility development in remote areas attractive to tourists

open access: yesEconomics and Environment, 2022
This paper addresses the problem of transport systems in remote areas, defined by a set of constraints deriving from a sparse population, infrequent transportation location means stops and cost-effectiveness of the system.

Examining the factors influencing microtransit users’ next ride decisions using Bayesian networks

open access: yesEuropean Transport Research Review, 2022
The progress of microtransit services across the world has been slower than expected due to institutional, operational, and financial barriers. However, how users' ride experiences and system attributes affects their future ride decisions remain an ...

A demand-responsive decision support system for coal transportation [PDF]

open access: yesDecision 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

open access: yesProcedia 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

open access: yesCentral 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 ...

A Modular Synthetic Demand Generation Framework for Demand-Responsive Public Transport

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
This study develops a modular framework for generating synthetic demand for demand-responsive public transport (DRT) using real service data. From 518 days of operational records (~37,000 trips), we construct a simulated empirical demand (SED) baseline ...

Demand-responsive public transportation re-scheduling for adjusting to the joint leisure activity demand

open access: yesInternational Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2016
Fixed daily trips such as trips to work/school have fixed departure/arrival times and destination points. The recurrent nature of fixed activities facilitates individuals on making more well-informed decisions about the transport mode selection.

Welfare consequences of request stops at transport services with low demand

open access: yesEuropean Transport Research Review, 2020
Background Demand-responsive transport is an alternative to fixed-route, fixed-scheduled transport services in low-demand areas. Objective This paper discusses the welfare and distributional consequences of the implementation of request stops (RSs) on a ...
