Worldwide, ridesharing business is steadily growing and has started to receive attention also by public transport operators. With future fleets of Autonomous Vehicles, new business models connecting schedule-based public transport and feeder fleets might become a feasible transport mode. However, such fleets require a good management to warrant a high level of service. One of the key aspects of this is proactive vehicle rebalancing based on the expected demand for trips. In this paper we model vehicle rebalancing as the Dynamic Transportation Problem. Results suggest that waiting times can be cut by around 30 % without increasing the overall vehicle miles travelled for a feeder fleet in rural Switzerland.
