description To respond to travel demand in the MaaS system, improve transport efficiency, and optimize the framework of MaaS, we propose a travel demand response model based on a spatiotemporal preference clustering algorithm that considers the impact of travel preferences and features of the MaaS system to improve travel demand response and achieve full coverage of travel demands. Specifically, in the MaaS system, the time preference hierarchical clustering algorithm is optimized with travel preference as the perception factor and preference priority order as the iteration index. Then, we cluster the departure and arrival times of reservation demand points and iteratively analyze the discrete points to obtain the set of reservation demand points with convergent time dimensions under similar preferences. Then, the spatial preference DBSCAN clustering algorithm is improved with travel preference and preference priority order as the iteration indices, and spatial clustering of the time-dense points are updated by the silhouette coefficient to obtain reservation demand points with similar spatiotemporal preference and respond to the demands. Meanwhile, traffic resources are coordinated by the MaaS system and the flexible means of transport are deployed to spatiotemporal discrete points to achieve full coverage of travel demand. Simulation shows that when the neighborhood range is 0.5 km and the least number of reservation demand sites is 3, our spatiotemporal model achieves a response rate of reservation demand points at 95%, and a demand coverage rate of 100%, which is 15% and 6.7% higher than the hierarchical clustering model and the DBSCAN clustering model, respectively. The demand response rate is also improved compared to the spatiotemporal clustering model in the customized bus model. The model and algorithm have some applicability and can be applied to areas with fixed, semifixed and flexible route transport, thereby considerably improving the travel demand response efficiency and transport service quality.
