Demand-responsive transit (DRT) with smartphone-based applications is emerging as a flexible and sustainable mobility service, transforming urban transportation. Nevertheless, to satisfy the real-time and inconsistent demand, it is becoming increasingly important to capture the decision-making psychology of order cancellations. In this study, a two-phase optimization framework is presented in response to real-time disruptions, including order cancellations and the insertion of new real-time passengers. In contrast to random real-time demand, this paper is more concerned about the impacts of the feedback information on order cancellations. Bounded rationality is incorporated into the model to discuss the decision-making process of cancellation behaviors. With regard to the soft window, a compensation strategy is proposed to promote the profit while encouraging passengers for a long-term use. Additionally, solution algorithm based on variable neighborhood search (VNS) and rolling horizon is constructed to approach the Pareto solutions set. To testify the validity of the proposed algorithm, small-scale experiments in simplified Sioux Falls network are investigated for multiple runs. Meanwhile, a real-world case study in Beijing is explored to evaluate the system performance considering real-time disruptions. The results indicate that the dynamic DRT service can substantially improve the system profit but increase the penalty cost. The profit presents a significant improvement to 940 (renminbi) RMB as a result of the insert of real-time passengers. This study, therefore, not only provides a deeper insight into the analysis of passenger cancellation behavior but also contributes to construct a more flexible DRT service.
