The idea of a smart city is one that utilises Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies and data
analytics to optimise the efficiency of city operations and services, so as to provide a high …

Flexible transport systems such as Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) are becoming more
and more popular over the last few years due to their convenience for customers. However …

In this paper, a strict formulation of a generalization of the classical pickup and delivery
problem is presented. Here, we add the flexibility of providing the option for passengers to …

This paper proposes and analyzes a new transit system that integrates the traditional fixed-
route service with a demand-adaptive service. The demand-adaptive service connects …

This paper analyzes and compares two different relative spatial position (RSP) designs in an
integrated e-hailing/fixed-route transit system: a zone-based design that operates e-hailing …

This paper concerns operational planning of door-to-door transportation systems for the
elderly and/or disabled, who often need a more flexible transportation system than the rest of …

In this paper, we develop an insertion heuristic for scheduling Mobility Allowance Shuttle
Transit (MAST) services, an innovative concept that merges the flexibility of Demand …

We study a hybrid transportation system referred to as mobility allowance shuttle transit
(MAST) where vehicles may deviate from a fixed path consisting of a few mandatory …

We develop bounds on the maximum longitudinal velocity to evaluate the performance and
help the design of mobility allowance shuttle transit (MAST) services. MAST is a new …

Conceptual design and preliminary feasibility simulation results are presented for a flexible
transit system for travel from any point to any point based on real-time personalized travel …
