Demand Response Model of Urban and Rural Customized Public Transport under the Background of Rural Revitalization

Promoting the equal development of urban and rural passenger transport services and providing high-quality basic travel guarantee for rural residents are important measures to implement the new urbanization and rural revitalization strategy, which is aimed to promote urban and rural integration. Based on the review of rural public transport and the travel needs and problems faced by rural residents in remote areas in China, a customized public transport response model based on OD demand is built from two aspects: meeting the travel needs and time requirements of passengers to the maximum extent. This is realized by considering fixed reservation requests and new demands in front of vehicles when driving in the bypass area and combining the flexible characteristics of demand responsive public transport with the characteristics of customized public transport through one stop. The cloud immune clonal algorithm was used to solve the model, and the route and response area of vehicle operation service under different passenger flow densities are obtained. The case study results show that the model can reasonably adjust the travel route of vehicles according to the actual travel request and can meet the travel needs of passengers.
