Abstract

Within the scope of the research project “Reallabor Schorndorf”, funded by the state Baden Wuerttemberg (Germany), demand responsive transport and operating systems as well as a virtual vehicle concept for public transport (PT) were designed and tested in a “real-world laboratory”. The aim of the subproject Vehicle Development was to design a vehicle in an effective and repeatable manner that best meets the users requirements with respect to the demand responsive public transport system. The novel user-centered development methodology and the exemplary result are highlighted in this contribution.
