Evaluating prebooked on-demand mobility services using MATSim.

A common task in today's transport simulation research is the assessment of on-demand mobility services on a large scale. A framework that is widely used for such tasks is MATSim, which has been applied frequently to study highly dynamic on-demand mobility services. To date, its efficient fleet management implementation does not yet support on-demand requests that are pre-booked in advance. This type of service, however, is seeing increased interest in the context of long-distance, rural, and inclusive mobility. Therefore, the present paper explores how prebooking can be integrated into MATSim and a use case for the city of Melun in France is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
