DRT Feeder Route Design for Urban Subway Stations
Limited transit connectivity and accessibility to high capacity commuter lines is often encountered in low-density residential areas, as limited flexibility and resources of traditional public transportation systems lead to low service coverage. Demand responsive transit (DRT) offers an alternative for providing feeder services to such areas, because of its flexibility in adjusting to different demand patterns. This paper presents a mathematical model and a genetic algorithm for efficiently designing DRT type feeder routes. The model is applied for the case of a residential area in Athens, Greece and results are discussed.
