Document summary

To reduce CO2 emissions while mitigating societal loss, linking poorly served geographies and alleviating the challenges of elderly and disabled to afford mobility, this research proposes the development of the mathematical tools needed to deliver sustainable, shared mobility, specifically a Demand Responsive Transport Service (DRTS). This project will integrate three important scientific components to deliver an attractive, flexible, low-carbon DRTS: efficient scheduling and routing optimisation algorithm, revenue management formulations that allow the prices of journeys to be changed dynamically, and rich understanding of customer behaviour and preferences (obtained by running surveys and focus groups)
