Bimodal Transport: Combining Demand Responsive and Public Transport — •Helge Heuer, Puneet Sharma, Stephan Herminghaus, and Knut M. Heidemann — Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany

Bimodal Transport describes the combination of traditional Public Transport (PT), also called Fixed Route Transport (FRT), and Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). In many of the existing DRT services there is the option to share the rides with other customers to reduce the price and increase the ecological efficiency of the individual rides. Bimodal Transport aims to combine the flexibility of DRT services with the efficiency of classical line services. An advantage of shared mobility in general is the comparably low carbon footprint and less general pollution, resulting from the reduction of active vehicles in comparison to unshared transportation.

Here we study bimodal transport via simulations on a square lattice. We analyze the performance of the system under various parameter settings and identify under which conditions the overall ecological footprint can be minimized while maintaining satisfactory customer service. Simulations are compared to an effective analytical theory.
