Optimal Design of Demand-Responsive Feeder Transit Services

Quadrifoglio, Luca (contributor) - 2009

The general public considers Fixed-Route Transit (FRT) to be inconvenientwhile Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) provides much of the desired flexibility with adoor-to-door type of service. However, FRT is typically more cost efficient than DRT todeploy. Therefore, there is an increased interest...
