Activiteit: Talk or presentation at a workshop/seminar
Description
Integrated mobility systems are gaining popularity in many Western countries. These integrated systems allow passengers to travel from rural to urban areas and vice versa by means of a combination of (1) demand-responsive transportation services with flexible routes and schedules and (2) timetabled public transport. A journey starts with a customer submitting a request to a service provider. This provider plans an integrated route that may consist of a combination of public transport and demand-responsive services, assuring both systems to be aligned with each other. The service provider minimizes the cost of the demand-responsive services, while guaranteeing a reliable planning and optimal transfers to/from public transport. The main goal of this research is to develop an efficient routing and scheduling algorithm that considers both dynamic and stochastic characteristics of the problem. In this talk, a research plan, a literature overview and a problem formulation will be presented.
