TY - JOUR KW - Artificial Intelligence KW - Demand-Responsive KW - Intelligent Systems KW - Optimization KW - Rural Areas AU - Pasqual Martí AU - Jaume Jordán AU - María Angélica González Arrieta AU - Vicente Julian AB - Rural areas have been marginalized when it comes to flexible, quality transportation research. 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.
