A-FTS Flexible routing planning program design

Abstract

Currently, there is no widespread and free validation tool for examining flexible public transportation systems and testing theories. In transport, the application of reimagined flexible passenger transportation systems, which generate lower energy need and provider’s cost, is becoming more and more popular. Based on previous own research results and new flexible transportation management theories (A-FTS), this validation program will be described. The flexible transport systems currently in use provide the design concepts on the basis of which a full validation system can be developed. This will provide the basis for starting to explore and implement flexible transport systems to exploit their potential.
