机动式辅助客运系统(MAST)及其研究进展综述

Introduction of Mobility Allowance Shuttle Transit System(MAST) and the Summary of Its Research Progress

机动式辅助客运系统(MAST)是一种新型的公共交通系统,它融合了需求响应公共交通系统(DRT)的机动性和常规公共交通系统的低成本操作性,是城市公共交通系统多样化的重要组成,是未来城市公共交通系统的重要发展方向。论文分析了机动式辅助客运系统产生的原因及过程,阐述了其运行方式,并对该领域的主要研究现状、成果及进展进行了综述。

A mobility allowance shuttle transit （MAST） system is an innovative concept that merges the flexibility of demand responsive transit （DRT） systems with the low cost operability of fixed-route bus systems. It must be an important part in the future＇s diverse public transportation. In this paper, we analyzed the reasons and progress of the development of MAST system, introduced the principle of its operation, and summarized the status of major research and results in this field.
