ABSTRACT

As new shared mobility services emerge there is an increasing need for better understanding of the role and potential markets of these services which would result in viable business models. The current research aims at exploring Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services, as a case of efficient mobility service provision for low demand interurban areas. Analytical models are developed and applied in a real case identifying critical demand thresholds for the alternative modes. Finally, the analysis points out the trade-offs between costs and level of service a transport operator or mobility provider needs to consider to implement a successful service.

摘要

随着新的共享出行服务的出现，人们越来越需要更好地了解这些服务的作用和潜在市场，这将产生可行的商业模式。当前的研究旨在探索需求响应运输（DRT）服务，以作为为需求量低的城市间地区提供高效交通服务的案例。开发分析模型并将其应用于实际情况，以识别替代模式的关键需求阈值。最后，分析指出了运输运营商或移动服务提供商为实现成功的服务而需要考虑的成本与服务水平之间的权衡。
