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

Demand for Water-based Leisure Activity

This paper reports on the demand for water-based leisure activity in Ireland based on data from a nationally representative telephone survey. Participation and trip demand are modelled using an augmented Poisson count model and consumer surplus welfare estimates are derived. The model is also used to investigate the level of social exclusion in water-based leisure activity. The demand for four ...

Hybrid Scheduling Methods for Demand Responsive Operations

A heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve a routing problem that integrates a fixed route service with a demand responsive. The main aim of the integration is to have higher productivity and/or less cost while not significantly reducing the customer service level. The primary application for such a system is a dial-a-ride service. The heuristic, which is tested using real data from a transit a...

A demand-responsive decision support system for coal transportation

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 way. As a result, the integrated train-stockp...

Benchmarking Sustainability with Respect to Transportation Supply and Demand

This paper is an endeavor to quantify the concept of sustainable transportation. The prevailing idea in the context of sustainable development (SD) emphasizes on the reduction of transportation demand in order to reduce the environmental and social consequences of it. Nevertheless, in the current paper using a measure for SD, and based on the conformity of the growths of all sectors with transp...
