Overview

Simulation study shows optimal fleet size improves service performance in suburban areas, highlighting transit benefits.

Key Points

  • Optimal fleet sizing is essential for efficient demand responsive transit in suburban areas, enhancing service performance and reducing car use.
  • Analysis of over 400,000 connection paths revealed critical inter-zonal car demand patterns in Munich’s northern suburbs.
  • Simulations at various car demand levels demonstrated significant variance in trips served and wait times based on area density.
  • Results advocate for customized fleet sizes tailored to specific suburban regions to improve overall public transport effectiveness.
