“…Later, their algorithm is integrated in a simulation study of the DR-PBS system in Porto (Portugal). A fixed night-time bus line is replaced with an existing DON-PBS, called Gato, which considers the operating costs (Gomes et al, 2015). A request for Gato must be made 1h30 in advance.…”

“…Most optimization solution methods used, are based on a greedy insertion, whether or not in combination with an efficient vehicle choosing algorithm. Only few more advanced metaheuristic approaches are used, but most of these are only tested on low to medium sized instances (local search, (Horn, 2002a), GRASP and local search (Santos and Xavier, 2013;Gomes et al, 2014Gomes et al, , 2015, (A)LNS (Vallée et al, 2017;Simonetto et al, 2019;Melis and Sörensen, 2021b), TS (Bruni et al, 2014), GA (Kawamura and Mukai, 2009)). In general, the instances used are mostly based on real cities in high demand areas.…”

“…Thirdly, by improving the flexibility of public transport and offering services on-demand, transportation systems can be designed to respond directly to the specific geographic and social characteristics of the local area [32,97]. For example, in some areas, such as those with large numbers of tourists, conventional public transport with fixed schedules and timetables may be more advantageous [28,110].…”

“…Similarly, in very low-density areas, semi-fixed, as opposed to door-to-door, services may be more efficient [33]. In designing transportation systems, planners should consider how changes respond to local characteristics and ensure the optimal allocation of available resources [32]. Furthermore, any local transportation plan should be able to be scaled up if demand increases to ensure equal and equitable coverage [96].…”

Transportation disadvantage is about the difficulty accessing mobility services required to complete activities associated with employment, shopping, business, essential needs, and recreation. Technological innovations in the field of smart mobility have been identified as a potential solution to help individuals overcome issues associated with transportation disadvantage. This paper aims to provide a consolidated understanding on how smart mobility innovations can contribute to alleviate transportation disadvantage. A systematic literature review is completed, and a conceptual framework is developed to provide the required information to address transportation disadvantage. The results are categorized under the physical, economic, spatial, temporal, psychological, information, and institutional dimensions of transportation disadvantage. The study findings reveal that: (a) Primary smart mobility innovations identified in the literature are demand responsive transportation, shared transportation, intelligent transportation systems, electric mobility, autonomous vehicles, and Mobility-as-a-Services. (b) Smart mobility innovations could benefit urban areas by improving accessibility, efficiency, coverage, flexibility, safety, and the overall integration of the transportation system. (c) Smart mobility innovations have the potential to contribute to the alleviation of transportation disadvantage. (d) Mobility-as-a-Service has high potential to alleviate transportation disadvantage primarily due to its ability to integrate a wide-range of services.

“…Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, las políticas de austeridad se han inclinado, para disminuir costes, a reconcentrar servicios, lo que ha aumentado las distancias de los desplazamientos y, con ello, las necesidades de uso de los transportes mecánicos (Camarero, Cruz y Oliva, 2014). Esta doble dinámica lleva a Gomes et al, (2015) a considerar que en etapas de crisis económica, la exclusión por motivo de transporte es más frecuente y que por tanto también es más importante que nunca planificar servicios públicos y de transporte más socialmente sostenibles, accesibles y equitativos.…”

RESUMENLa crisis económica internacional ha tenido impactos en múltiples aspectos de la vida cotidiana en España. Como soporte indispensable de la vida cotidiana, la movilidad también se ha visto afectada por la pérdida de puestos de trabajo y la caída de la capacidad de gasto de las familias. La dimensión de los cambios sin embargo depende en gran parte de las condiciones inherentes del territorio, que tiene la capacidad de potenciar o restringir las estrategias de adaptación a la crisis. El artículo propone un análisis de la movilidad cotidiana en la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona para el periodo 2004-2012, examinando la evolución de los patrones de movilidad en los años previos y posteriores a la llegada de la crisis a España. Los impactos sobre la movilidad diaria se contextualizan en base a la resiliencia territorial de cada subámbito metropolitano: Barcelona, su 1ª y 2ª coronas metropolitanas, analizando las distintas posibilidades de adaptación que cada territorio ofrece a sus ciudadanos.Palabras clave: movilidad; crisis económica; adaptación; Barcelona; resiliencia. ABSTRACTThe current international crisis has had impacts on multiple aspects of everyday life in Spain. As an indispensable support of daily life, mobility has also been affected by the loss of jobs and the fall of spending power of families. The dimension of the changes, however, depends largely on the inherent conditions of the territory, which has the ability to Boletín de la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles N.º 75 -2017, págs. 9-28 I.S.S.N.: 0212-9426
