The role of intelligent transport systems for demand responsive transport

Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) is a type of public transport, which provides the user with both the advantage of collective transport and taxi. It was often considered as a marginal mode of transport reserved for areas of low population density. Since the end of the 90s, the number of DRTs has increased regularly. The flexibility and efficiency of a DRT is influenced by several factors. Eight components are selected to define flexibility and this paper describes the different technological opportunities which can contribute to the management and development of flexible DRT. They will be illustrated by two examples.
