Temporalités éclatées
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the real and potential outcomes of Demand Responsive Transports (DRT). Those services allow to care for new mobilities that induce complex temporalities. We set our discussion around the concepts of “ubiquité”, “instantanéité” and “immédiateté” from Gabriel Dupuy and propose to add two complementary aspects: “informativité” and “continuité”. Then we compare different modes of transport faced to these ideal concepts. We end on an emphasize of the DRT capacity to respond to the new mobility demand, highlighted by several concrete services and the results of a survey.
