| Abstract(in English) | Demand-bus, or dial-a-ride systems are focused as a style of new tranportation systems for town area. While it is reported that such systems improve usability of bus systems when it is applied in a small town/area, it is not clear what is the condition for the system are reasonable compared with traditional fixed-route bus systems. We conducted a couple of computer simulations of demand-bus and fixed bus systems to compare usability and profitability of both systems. The result of the simulations shows : (1) Usability of the demand-bus drops very quickly when the number of demands increases. (2) When we scale up the number of buses according to the number of demands proportinally, the usability of the demand-bus is improved more significantly than the fixed-bus (3) When the scale of town is large enough, the demand-bus system is a reasonable solution from both viewpoints of usability and profitability. |
