Determining the service goal for the ODT service will help in determining the supply and demand of the service required to meet the outlined goals and objectives. [...] The cycle time can impact the boundary limits or size of the ODT service area as the ODT vehicle can only cover a certain distance before having to come back to connect to the fixed-route transit point. [...] How large a zone is will also impact the number of vehicles required for the service and the capabilities of the ODT routing application platform to accommodate and satisfy the real-time trip requests made by customers (Volinski, 2019). [...] The configuration of the ODT zone is related to the geographic size of the service area. [...] Passengers’ wait and trip times depend on the number and capacity of vehicles available, the size of the service area, and the level of sharing desired.
