Abstract
The growing demand for mobility of people and goods poses major challenges for the inner-city transport infrastructure. At the same time, the increased volume of commuters increases the need for demand-oriented local public transportation (LPT) as well as more flexible connections to rural areas. In the long term, therefore, a shift in individual vehicle traffic toward intelligent, modern, low-emission and sustainable mobility solutions is necessary. Flexible, demand-oriented stops will be of increasing importance for new sustainable mobility solutions in the future.
In this paper, the concepts for new virtual stops as an integral part of the roadside infrastructure for future mobility solutions are presented. The paper gives the answer to these questions: which criteria does a public transport bus stop, on-street parking or parking bay have to meet so that it can act as a virtual stop or chosen by the end user like on-demand passenger of demand responsive transport?
This paper also illustrates the most significant mobility uses cases involving virtual stops.
