Planning a Swarm-Based Mobility System with Autonomous Vehicles for Sustainable and Flexible Transportation in Rural Areas
Miriam Stumpe, Philipp Speckenmeyer, Guido Schryen, Lisa Kleinjohann, Christoph Weskamp
Rural areas face significant mobility challenges due to low population density, limited public transportation, and a high dependence on private vehicles, leading to restricted access for non-vehicle owners and environmental issues. This paper presents a decision support system (DSS) currently developed within the NeMo.bil project, which explores a swarm-based, on-demand mobility system using autonomous vehicles to address these challenges. The DSS integrates strategic fleet planning with real-time operational planning to optimize resource allocation and demand response. A sample use case illustrates how the tool is intended to support decision-making for fleet sizing and configuration in rural regions. As this research is ongoing, we present a preliminary concept of the DSS and outline future research directions.
