Demand Adaptive Systems: Some Proposals on Flexible Transit1

  • Chapter
Operational Research in Industry

Abstract

Traditional public transport systems are evolving towards more flexible organizations in order to capture additional demand and reduce operational costs. Such a trend calls for new models and tools to support the management of new services that make use of public facilities to meet individual need.
