This review article brings together papers that discuss, analyze, model, or experiment with demand-responsive transportation systems applied to rural settlements and interurban transportation, discussing their general feasibility as well as the most successful configurations. For that, demand-responsive transportation is characterized and the techniques used for modeling and optimization are described. Then, a classification of the relevant publications is presented, splitting the contributions into analytical and experimental works. The results of the classification lead to a discussion that states open issues within the topic: replacement of public transportation with demandresponsive solutions, disconnection between theoretical and experimental works, user-centered design and its impact on adoption rate, and a lack of innovation regarding artificial intelligence implementation on the proposed systems.}, year = {2023}, journal = {International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence}, volume = {8}, chapter = {43}, number = {3}, pages = {43-54}, month = {09/2023}, issn = {1989-1660}, url = {https://www.ijimai.org/journal/sites/default/files/2023-08/ijimai8_3_4.pdf}, doi = {10.9781/ijimai.2023.07.010}, }
