Abstract

In this study, the authors aimed at the cost analysis for Demand Responsive Transport systems (DRTs) considering operation characteristics. DRTh are expected to accommodate in low-demand-areas, and may provide flexibility responding to each user's reservation. As results, we observed the influence of each operation types upon the cost. In addition, we indicated the needs for cost analysis of Semi-Dynamic systems with considering the relationship between operational costs and level of services for users.
Finally, we tried to compare operational cost of DRTs with other modes. As a result, we found DRTs can be operated in low costs in low-demand-areas.
