Surprisingly, the focus is often narrow, leaving potentials untapped and negatively impacting service providers’ profitability. This book proposes several solutions, including strategies for increasing revenue, offering supplementary services, and fostering collaboration. Further, it presents ideas and approaches that address the corresponding problems using operations research methods. The proposals presented here can be used not only to enhance the economic viability of dial-a-ride systems but also boost their impact and visibility. As such, the book shares fundamental insights into solving the dial-a-ride problem and anticipates future trends, leading the way to new frontiers of research. The book offers a valuable resource for academics and professionals engaged in the field of transportation or those interested in the design and development of advanced mathematical programming techniques.Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,2196-9957 ;694Operations researchMathematical optimizationProduction managementOperations Research and Decision TheoryDiscrete OptimizationOperations ManagementOperations research.Mathematical optimization.Production management.Operations Research and Decision Theory.Discrete Optimization.Operations Management.388.4Grimm Jonathan1802762MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910946350703321Dial-A-Ride Problems in Transportation Service4348966UNINA
