Optimization of DRT concepts using the SUMO simulation software: How can the service quality be improved?

Within the Reallabor project in Hamburg future digital mobility is being tested with the objective to enhance mobility and transport in a metropolitan region such as Hamburg towards environmental and climate friendly mobility. To fulfil this aim is necessary to not only focus on the central city, but also on the urban districts. Hence, with the help of the microscopic simulation software SUMO it was analyzed how autonomous on-demand vehicles can be used in suburbs like Bergedorf to improve the connection of such suburban areas to the existing public transport system. The aim of the research was to find out what quality of service can be achieved with on-demand transport (DRT) in Bergedorf and how it can be optimized in terms of users. The paper will present the results of the simulation and the analysis of the results.
