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. 0aOperations research.957943 0aMathematical optimization.965522 0aProduction management.96714114aOperations Research and Decision Theory.96714324aDiscrete Optimization.97307924aOperations Management.9673042 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303166345108iPrinted edition:z9783031663475 0aLecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,x2196-9957 ;v69499020440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-66346-8  aZDB-2-BUM  aZDB-2-SXBM  c66372d66372
