All roads lead to the places of your interest: An on‐demand, ride‐sharing visitor transport service

Abstract

Successful visitor transport within large tourist sites should balance visitor experience and operating costs. Inspired by the model of sharing economy, we design a “user‐centered” intelligent visitor transport system to improve the efficiency and quality of experience of transport service in large tourist sites. The system's core approach is a three‐stage heuristic model based on Pareto optimality. Results of the proposed service indicate a drastic reduction of visitor delay time and an improvement in energy efficiency. The proposed scheduling schemes for organizers are more diversified and adaptable than the existing service.
