Demand response transportation system, a high flexibility demand-oriented public transport services. In our proposed, we combined with reservation, scheduling, dispatching, service statistics, monitoring and fleet management in demand response transportation system. Our automated scheduling and route planning algorithm combines geographic information system that provides the estimated arrival time and travel route are useful for scheduling employees. On-board equipment in the vehicle can receive the service lines and instant messages and it will feedback the vehicle positioning in duty. In this thesis, we introduce the overall of DRTS in the world. Secondly, we show the operation flow of DRTS from customer side until the end. Next, we will describe the system architecture, dispatching algorithms and OBU device. Final, the system has been applied to Taiwan transport system, Fuhsing Township service system in Taoyuan county and rehabus service respectively. They have the same problem of transportation resource demand is greater than supply. In order to reduce the cost of traveling vehicle and improve the quality of transport services, they import ICT system to manage their transport service.
