Abstract

This paper addresses an original static Dial-A-Ride service designed for sparsely populated areas. The service relies on vehicles capable of switching between the road and an existing vacant railway network, which induces railway scheduling constraints that must be integrated into the solution algorithm. In the context of the static Dial-A-Ride Problem (DARP), a set of known users must be picked up and dropped off to desired locations while adhering to time windows at nodes and maximal riding time constraints. In our problem, there are additional constraints related to the vehicles when they operate on the rail, creating interdependencies between trips.
