✦ Synopsis

In the last decade we have experienced fast-growing traffic congestion and spreading built-up urban areas without adequate transportation systems. We are searching for a new public transit system with dial-a-ride service to maintain our quality of life. Our concept for a public transit management system has three stages of service; the dial-aride services operate at the lowest, local-level services, as public taxi or jitney services. This paper will investigate and define how dial-a-ride service will optimize many customers requests with a short response time. Our previous study showed how one dial-a-ride service vehicle could operate in a service zone. However, realistically there are many more customers in a service zone than one dial-a-ride service vehicle can handle. Therefore, in this paper, we study how multiple dial-a-ride service vehicles can operate in one service zone and apply a genetic algorithm to demonstrate the optimization of their operations and services.

Knowledge of the location of saddle points is crucial to the study the chemical reactivity. Using a path following method defined in a reduced potential energy surface, and starting at either the reactant or product region, we propose an algorithm that locates the corresponding saddle point.
