Overview

Analysis reveals cost efficiency and optimal occupancy levels in demand-responsive transport, suggesting improvements for public transportation.

Key Points

  • Cost efficiency is maximized at optimal occupancy levels of 10–15 passengers, reducing agency costs effectively.
  • Empirical data analyzed in two service areas in Dubai confirmed the viability of the Alternating Priorities routing strategy.
  • Assessment using Daganzo's continuum approximation framework evaluated the operational performance of the Bus-on-Demand service.
  • Highlights the importance of balancing agency and user costs for effective implementation of demand-responsive transport.
