Enhancing the Service Quality of Transit Systems in Rural Areas by Flexible Transport Services
Summary. Dial-a-Ride systems improve public transit in rural areas where fixed schedules are inefficient due to variable demand and dispersed destinations. The authors develop a mixed-integer optimization model that minimizes both operating costs and total traveler time, accounting for different user types. Testing on real data from Japan shows the approach reduces waiting times and excess ride duration compared to conventional methods.
