AMOID: Automated Microtransit Optimization Model Powered by Individual Travel Data

This is the official code repository for the paper "When Flexibility Beats Fixed Routes: Quantifying Microtransit Efficiency-Emission Trade-offs Using AMOID" (Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment).

AMOID is a GA and ABM based microtransit design model that collaboratively optimize bus routing, scheduling and ride-hailing car dispatching.

Model Framework

Data Sample
