Composite traffic is a hypothetical traffic system based on large-scale demand-responsive public transportation. The basic idea is to aggregate a major part of urban personal trips into taxi-like vehicles. A vehicle is shared by people that have the same origin and destination, thus increasing the effectiveness of the transportation compared with taxis. In practice, the composite traffic is clearly more cost-effective, if a large part of passengers are willing to make one change during the trip. A change increases the flexibility in the aggregation.[1]
