ABSTRACT
When exploring the design possibility of atransit feeder/shuttle service, we can refer to Section 13.2, in which an ideal coordinated service is portrayed. For simplicity, we will include the transit-feeder service within ashuttle service in the remaining parts of the chapter. Ideally, a smart transit shuttle system will provide an advanced, attractive service that operates reliably and relatively rapidly, and has smooth, synchronized transfers as part of the door-to-door transit-passenger chain. In order to arrive at the design of such asystem, new integration and routing concepts had to be developed. This chapter integrates work done by Ceder and Yim (2002), Yim and Ceder (2006), Jerby and Ceder (2006), Ceder (2009), and Ceder (2013).
