Conventional Public Transport (PT) is based on fixed lines, running with routes and schedules determined a-priori. In low-demand areas, conventional PT is inefficient. Therein, Mobility on Demand (MoD) could serve users more efficiently and…
Path-aware networking architectures like SCION provide end-hosts with explicit control over inter-domain routing, while multipath transport protocols like MPTCP and MPQUIC enable the concurrent use of multiple paths. This combination…
