Within the transport research, modelling and simulation enables the analysis and evaluation of the functioning of a mobility system which depends on the context. It is a necessary stage in order to develop and improve innovative transport services such as Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). Among various modelling approaches, Agent Based Models (ABM) are frequently used by geographers. ABMs allow us to statistically and precisely follow the system’s advancement and we can intuitively observe spatio-temporal development of forms.This paper presents an example of theoretical flexible transport simulated with Netlogo ABM tool. Using the ODD (Overview, Design concepts, and Details) protocol we explain the model operation, and results obtained relating to flows structuring and service optimization. Multi-agent paradigm's issues in transport research are discussed and we present some methodological and thematic perspectives.
