Nowadays elderly population accounted, in some countries, by more than 20% of the population, and such value tends to increase. In urban congested areas, this is a challenge to public transport systems, as elderly people may have sensory, cognitive or motor impairments that may require new types of services, such as Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). In our work, we explored a multi objective approach for a DRT system for people with reduced mobility in an urban environment. The model aims to optimize some of the interests of the travellers and the transport operators.
