A matheuristic routing algorithm in support of a dynamic, integrated mobility system (Research)

In a traditional mobility policy, public transport is supplemented with (private) dial-a-ride services, providing demand-dependent door-to-door transport to people with reduced mobility. For efficiency reasons, many governments are currently implementing an innovative demand-driven mobility policy in which private dial-a-ride services also replace unprofitable public transport in rural areas. This FWO postdoctoral research project focuses on developing a dynamic matheuristic routing algorithm which provides integrated solutions, combining public transport and dial-a-ride services by ensuring synchronization between routes and modes.
