Shifting DRT-reservations from pre-booking to on-demand as a means to increase capacity

This measure aims to explore methods for enhancing and gaining experience in same-day and on-demand ordering for age-friendly transport. To be ready for the upcoming “window of opportunity” this fall, we must acquire the necessary skills and experience to operate on-demand DRT systems, whilst also taking into account the unique needs of RAT users. Key issues to investigate include (1) the impact of reserving vehicles for ondemand/same day on productivity, (2) the effect of on-demand/same day on trip aggregation, and (3) determining the number of vehicles needed for on-demand/same day to observe systemic effects, among other considerations.
