Nature-Inspired Optimal Route Network Design for Shared Autonomous Vehicles

Emerging forms of shared mobility call for new vehicle routing models that take into account sharing, ride sharing and autonomous fleets. This study deals with the design an optimal route network vehicles, considering both sharing. The problem is modeled as a one-to-many-to-one capacity range constraints. An ant colony optimization algorithm applied to in order construct set routes satisfies user requests under operational Results show able produce solutions relatively short computational times, while exploiting possibility reduce operating costs. also underline potential vehicles context taxi service booking trips through electronic reservation systems.
