Mobility fleet operations with transfers:

toward sustainable mobility hubs

ABSTRACT

Recent investments in mobility hubs (sites where vehicles pickup or drop-off passengers) warrant a better understanding of how to operate fleets that accommodate either intramodal or intermodal transfers. Given the high costs of transfers, it is important to place strict requirements on transfer windows or to even consider en-route transfers. Recent advances in both offline and online operations with will be presented. When viewed offline, there are potential benefits to en-route transfers that can reduce operating costs by up to 20% over having no transfers. However, an online perspective indicates a prohibitively high opportunity cost of strict transfer windows that make it difficult to capture those savings. Research questions are posed related to how public agencies should leverage mobility hubs and what design challenges they face.
