Abstract

The demand bus is a new transportation means, which is timely planned and runs order by order in accordance with independent requests of individual customers. Demand buses are alternative transportation vehicles, replacing traditional routing-oriented buses. In this paper, the authors address the characteristic issues, attend to the practical operations, and estimate and evaluate the trade-off strategies between usage convenience and cost management. The main idea, which is established from the features among parameters interpretatively, is to make use of visualization techniques and apply a self-organizing map (SOM) to this visualization. The authors display the co-related classification results computed individually from several selected parameters to keep their meaningful correspondence.
