Framtidens integrerade och adaptiva kollektivtrafik

Towards integrated and adaptive public transport
Abstract [sv]

Om projektet

Den framtida kollektivtrafiken (KT) kommer troligen i allt högre utsträckning att automatiskt anpassa sig efter aktuellt rådande omständigheter och behov. Framförallt kan det finnas fördelar med sådana anpassningsbara tjänster i vissa typer av geografiska områden och vid vissa tider på dygnet, exv. då den ordinarie kollektivtrafiken inte är i drift.

Förflyttningen mot mer anpassningsbara och efterfrågestyrda tjänster underlättas av den snabba utvecklingen och spridningen av modern informationsteknologi, såsom artificiell intelligens, sakernas internet och smartphones. Dessutom ökar de tekniska framstegen inom självkörande fordon, vilka är bättre rustade att uppfylla de krav som ställs i efterfrågestyrd trafik. Det här projektet fokuserar på hur, när och för vem efterfrågestyrd KT kan vara användbar, samt vilka krav och möjligheter som finns med sådan trafik. Framförallt strävar projektet efter att besvara frågorna:

  • Hur och när kan efterfrågestyrd KT användas för resenärer med specifika behov eller i särskilda situationer (exv. under störningar i kollektivtrafiken eller vid större evenemang)?
  • Hur kan efterfrågestyrd KT integreras med särskild KT (exv. skolskjutsar eller färdtjänst) och tidtabellsstyrd KT?
  • Kan ett interaktivt resestöd både förbättra kvaliteten på resetjänster och minska resursutnyttjandet (exv. genom att interaktivt planera om resenärernas påstigningstid och plats)?

Projektet innefattar simuleringar av kollektivtrafiksystemet, litteraturstudier, intervjuer och aktiv dialog med industrin och kollektivtrafikaktörer för både insamling och spridning av kunskap.

Finansiärer: K2 och Malmö universitet

About the project

The future Public Transport (PT) will probably automatically adapt better to the current situation. In particular, there is a need for such services in certain types of geographical areas and certain times of the day. There are also incentives to combine PT with special passenger transport services (e.g. transport of schoolchildren or disabled).

The move towards more adaptive services is further pushed by the rapid development and dissemination of modern information technology, such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and smartphones. Additionally, the technological advancements of self-driving vehicles, which are better equipped to meet the requirements of such traffic, are increasing.

This project is primarily focused on how, when and for who Demand-Responsive public Transport (DRT) can be useful as well as what the requirements and opportunities for such traffic are. How and when can DRT be used for travellers with special needs, or in specific situations (e.g. during PT disturbances or larger events)? Moreover, how can DRT be integrated with special passenger transport services and timetabled PT? Can an interactive travel support both improve travel service quality as well as reduce resource utilization (e.g. by interactively re-plan the travellers’ boarding time and address)? The project includes simulations of the PT system, literature studies, interviews and active dialogue with industry and PT actors for both acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.

Abstract [en]

On-demand transport services are often envisioned as stand-alone modes or as a replacement for conventional public transport modes. This leads to a comparison of service efficiencies, or direct competition for passengers between them. The results of this work point to the positive effects of the inclusion of DRT into the public transport network. We simulate a day of operation of a DRT service in a rural area and demonstrate that a DRT system that focuses on increasing accessibility for travellers with poor public transport access can be quite efficient, especially for reducing environmental impact. We show that DRT, while it produces more vehicle kilometres than private cars would inside the DRT operating zone, can help to reduce the vehicle kilometres travelled for long-distance trips. The results of this study indicate the need for a more systemic evaluation of the impact of the new mobility modes.
