Before revision:  This paper focuses on the former in a hypothetical scenario- "if both AV and PT operators were only profit-oriented . " We aim to quantitatively evaluate the system performance (e.g. level of service, operators' financial viability, transport efficiency) when AV and PT are profit-oriented competitors with dynamic adjustable supply strategies under certain policy constraints.
After revision:  This paper focuses on the former in a hypothetical scenario- "if both AV and PT operators were only profit-oriented . " and uses an ABM to quantitatively evaluate the system performance (e.g. level of service, operators' financial viability, transport efficiency) when AV and PT are profit-oriented competitors with dynamic adjustable supply strategies under certain policy constraints.
