Transportation is one of the industrial sectors most impacted by global climate change. Electric vehicles are energy-efficient and often presented as a zero-emission transport mode to achieve longer-term de-carbonization visions in the transport sector. Governments are recognizing the highest priority of development of public transit policies for sustainability. Taxis are visible and thus electric vehicle use in taxi service can bring attention in urban life to a commitment towards sustainability in the public's opin-ion. For this reason, this lecture note proposed a multi-agent system (MAS) approach incorporating electric vehicle dial-a-ride (DAR) operation and the appropriate car-pool and car-sharing schemes design for taxi service. The dial-a-ride operation problem consists of designing vehicle routes and schedules for users who specify pick-up and drop-off requests between origins and destinations. We have made some MAS simulation studies, which aims to minimize the total vehicle-distance travelled subject to meeting all advanced customers' requests, and constraints on vehicle capacity, pickup/ delivery time-window, customer ride-time and battery-charging restrictions. In this study, we designed vehicle dial-a-ride operation system and algorithm development for dynamic variants of elec-tric vehicles DAR, to enable on-line simulations of realistic scale for on-demand transit.
We will also investigate robust solution approaches for the stochastic electric vehicles DAR. The insights obtained in studying these electric vehicles DAR variants would help to build an integrated planning model for location of charging stations and on-demand transit request management.
This lecture note is expected to be read by academics (i.e. teachers, researchers and students), technology solutions developers and enterprise managers. The authors are expecting that the lecture note will contribute to the MAS technological concept in other applications. Finally, the authors are grateful to the readers for any constructive criticism.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
