Analysis of Demand-responsive Transport Services: a Microsimulation Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Demand-Responsive Transport Services (DRTS) are an attempt to improve the efficiency of public transport when demand is sporadic. The DRT service simulator that we have developed analyses most of the random events, such as traffic congestion and the arrival time of passengers at their pickup points, which ultimately affect the quality of the service. We assume that vehicles are moving within the traffic flow on the network, and a microscopic traffic simulator was therefore used to observe the dynamics of congestion.

Air transport system has always been involved in all aspects of life because of its high potential in transporting passengers and goods. In this research we surveys the effects of travel variables on demand of domestic air transport, and for gathering required information from passengers, a questionnaire was designed including 20 effective parameters on air transport demand with questions These...

The dial-services are an excellent connection between classical forms of collective and private transport; they are the answer to the development of transport demand from homogeneous travels (homeloffice, homelfactory, home/school in limited areas and periods) to not homogeneous travels (short continuous travels toward many different destinations); they are also the answer to the growing need o...

متن کاملTesting demand responsive shared transport services via agent-based simulations
Demand Responsive Shared Transport (DRST) services take advantage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), to provide “on demand” transport services booking in real time a ride on a shared vehicle. In this paper, an agent-based model (ABM) is presented to test different the feasibility of different service configurations in a real context. First results show the impact of route choi...
متن کاملSimulation Approach for an Integrated Decision Support System for Demand Responsive Transport Planning and Operation
Rural areas are becoming more desert from day to day, leading to complex dispersed and scarce demand patterns for public transport. As a consequence, conventional transport services are becoming less frequent, reducing levels of service (e.g., low occupancy rates, usage of old vehicles). With rigid predefined routes and schedules, they are inappropriate to operate in such environments. Demand R...
