Popis: This paper provides a novel technique of evaluating routing efficiencies that can result from vehicle-to-passenger (V2P) communication. Examples of public transport vehicles that can leverage the advantages of V2P communication include demand-responsive transit (DRT)—which is a form of flexible transit system often used as a feeder transport for main transit line. Special case has been presented for a grid street network system found predominantly in residential or downtown areas where feeder transit is frequently used. With an assumption of uniform random spatial distribution of passengers over a grid street network, efficiency improvements of as much as 73–98% can be expected with V2P deployment for variable grid network side length of 300–2000 ft, respectively, for higher number of passengers served. These efficiency improvements have been validated through several simulation experiments with a varied number of grid street network systems.
