Electric vehicles in the function of modelling paratransit for areas with significant deviation between cycle time - Case study of Jastrebarsko (Croatia)

The attitude of the European Union is to ensure sustainable mobility for each populated area, along with the environment friendly traffic system [23]. The most common need for mobility is the reason for the redistribution of regular public transportation lines. Such approach does not meet the requirements for mobility in rural areas there is no high demand for public transport. The problem is to define bus schedules because of the deviation on a daily and weekly basis. Paratransit (transport on demand), can be solution for this problem. This type of transport is flexible regarding the timetable, capacity and bus stops. Electric vehicles can be used for this type of transport. According to previous studies, paratransit is very benefitial, especially in rural and island areas. In case study of the City of Jastrebarsko, the survey method was defined by user requirements for mobility which can be solved by using the paratransit with electric vehicles. The purpose of this study is to show paratransit as a solution for flexible bus schedules in the case of demand for transport by high school students. Electric vehicles can be used as a solution between the morning and afternoon school cycle.
