Numerous actors interact constantly, most of them with conflicting objectives. In this sector, the economic efficiency cannot determine the system performance. As a matter of fact, aspects such us quality of service and human side effects, say pathological or emotional incompatibilities, might play a critical role. In this master thesis we will examine the daily transport of children with disabilities at Lyon urban center in two main phases: 1) a qualitative analysis of the stakeholders, their motivations and interactions 2) a quantitative study to determine the benefit of optimizing the transport system considering passengers constraints with heterogeneous and reconfigurable vehicles. The proposed optimization problem is not yet covered in the scientific literature.
