Improving accessibility is one of the major issues in rural and suburbantransportation. With the recent technological improvement of automatedvehicles, it is expected that automated demand responsive transit and automateddemand responsive feeder transit potentially will be options to improvemobility in rural areas. One of the main concerns for the optimal automateddemand responsive feeder transit operation is variation of passenger demand.Obviously, changes in passenger demand should alter the optimal operation andwill result in different passenger travel times and vehicle operation costs.This paper uses the optimal feeder bus routing algorithm previously developedby the authors. With it, the effects of the various passenger demands withfixed fleet size will be evaluated for the optimal automated demand responsivefeeder bus operation based on the example network. The results show that whendemand goes up, the maximum average used capacity of vehicles goes up asexpected. Moreover, when demand goes up, transit service becomes morecircuitous and makes the passenger costs/person and total costs/personincrease, and the service becomes less efficient, although operatingcosts/passenger decreases.
