Integrated Demand Responsive transport in Low-Demand Areas: A case study of Canberra, Australia
研究了在低需求城市区域用集成需求响应交通替代传统公交的效果，通过多目标模型模拟其在运营成本、环境影响、乘客出行时间和公平性方面的表现，并以堪培拉贝尔康嫩为例进行对比分析。
This paper evaluates Integrated-Demand Responsive Transport (I-DRT) as a solution to the challenges faced by traditional public transport (PT) systems in low-demand urban areas. The study investigates the implications of replacing local PT with I-DRT in low-demand urban areas. A multi-objective model, incorporating operational cost, environmental impact, passengers' travel time, and inequity is used to simulate the I-DRT performance. The analysis compares the performance of I-DRT and existing local bus lines in Belconnen, Canberra, Australia, based on number of utilised vehicles, operational cost, fuel consumption, average travel time, individual passenger travel time, delay, and inequity in delay distribution.
