Bi-modal transport: united against the private car — Puneet Sharma, •Knut Heidemann, Helge Heuer, Steffen Mühle, and Stephan Herminghaus — Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation, Göttingen, Germany

Motorized individual traffic leads to a prohibitive waste of energy and other resources. We show that combining a line service with a fleet of ride-pooling shuttles may provide on-demand door-to-door service with a service quality superior to customary public transportation, while at the same time consuming only about 20% of the energy a corresponding fleet of private cars would require, and with a road traffic volume reduced by orders of magnitude. We find favorable performance not only in urban, but also in rural settings. While the first part relies on a mean-field model and a simple model geometry, in part two, we test our results by simulations of real-word scenarios.
