Abstract
Demand responsive ridepooling services can be a useful addition or expansion for line based public transport systems. As such, they are becoming more and more common. The operational aspect of dial-a-ride services is a well researched problem, both in an offline and an online setting. Dial-a-ride problems typically aim to assign passenger requests to the ridepooling vehicles and determine their routes through an underlying road network, thereby minimizing travel time and costs for the provider. In this talk, we consider ridepooling from a strategic perspective, disregarding operational details. Strategic decisions include in which areas ridepooling should be offered and how many vehicles are needed such that the demand can be served.
We present models for strategic ridepooling that work in a similar way as models for line planning. We analyze the main differences between traditional line based and demand responsive public transport. We then turn to the integrated planning of ridepooling services and traditional line based public transport such as busses or trains. For a given customer demand in a transport network, these models decide which type of transportation is more suitable in which area of the network, such that all passengers can be transported either by regular lines or by ridepooling, while keeping the overall cost minimal.
