Apply a heuristics for flexible transport systems to a real case

The demand responsive transport systems (DRTS) aim to satisfy two main objectives: the service flexibility and the costs minimization. They are a good solution for the trade-off between flexibility and efficiency. They require the planning of travel paths (routing) and customers pick-up and drop-off times (scheduling) according to received requests. DRTS may operate according to a static or dynamic mode. The aim of this work is to test on a real case a heuristic for a flexible transport system with different service parameters: fleet size, vehicle capacity, time windows and incoming requests.
