Vehicle-sharing systems -- such as bike-, car-, or motorcycle-sharing systems -- have become increasingly popular in big cities in recent years. On the one hand, they provide a cheaper and environmentally friendlier means of transportation…
We present a probabilistic proactive rebalancing method and speed-up techniques for improving the performance of a state-of-the-art real-time high-capacity fleet management framework [1]. We improve on both computational efficiency and…
Routing algorithms for public transport, particularly the widely used RAPTOR and its variants, often face performance bottlenecks during the transfer relaxation phase, especially on dense transfer graphs, when supporting unlimited…
This paper focuses on modeling ride requests and their variations over location and time, based on analyzing extensive real-world data from a ride-sharing service. We introduce a graph model that captures the spatial and temporal…
This paper addresses the problem of finding shortest paths homotopic to a given disjoint set of paths that wind amongst point obstacles in the plane. We present a faster algorithm than previously known.
Route choice models in public transport have been discussed for a long time. The main factor why a passenger chooses a specific path is usually based on its length or travel time. However, also the ticket price that passengers have to pay…
The increase in congestion in surface traffic, airborne pollution, and other environmental issues have motivated the transit authorities to promote public transit worldwide. In big cities and large metropolitan areas, adding new rapid…
We study the problem of computing all Pareto-optimal journeys in a public transit network regarding the two criteria of arrival time and number of transfers taken. In recent years, great advances have been made in making public transit…
Several scientific studies have reported the existence of the income gap among rideshare drivers based on demographic factors such as gender, age, race, etc. In this paper, we study the income inequality among rideshare drivers due to…
Public transportation systems play a crucial role in daily commutes, business operations, and leisure activities, emphasizing the need for effective management to meet public demands. One approach to achieve this goal is by predicting…
Despite the promising benefits that ride-sharing offers, there has been a lack of research on the benefits of high-capacity ride-sharing services. Prior research has also overlooked the relationship between traffic volume and the degree of…
In dynamic ride-sharing systems, intelligent repositioning of idle vehicles enables service providers to maximize vehicle utilization and minimize request rejection rates as well as customer waiting times. In current practice, this task is…
Taxi services are a vital part of urban transportation, and a considerable contributor to traffic congestion and air pollution causing substantial adverse effects on human health. Sharing taxi trips is a possible way of reducing the…
The rise of app-based ride-sharing has fundamentally changed tipping culture in New York City. We analyzed 280 million trips from 2024 to see if we could predict tips for traditional taxis versus high-volume for-hire services. By testing…
Traveling to different destinations is a big part of our lives. We visit a variety of locations both during our daily lives and when we're on vacation. How can we find the best way to navigate from one place to another? Perhaps we can test…
We discuss how to efficiently forward data in vehicular networks. Existing solutions do not make full use of trajectory planning of nearby vehicles, or social attributes. The development of onboard navigation system provides drivers some…
Graph comparison deals with identifying similarities and dissimilarities between graphs. A major obstacle is the unknown alignment of graphs, as well as the lack of accurate and inexpensive comparison metrics. In this work we introduce the…
GPS receivers embedded in cell phones and connected vehicles generate a series of location measurements that can be used for various analytical purposes. A common pre-processing step of this data is the so-called map matching. The goal of…
This paper presents a new ridesharing simulation platform that accounts for dynamic driver supply and passenger demand, and complex interactions between drivers and passengers. The proposed simulation platform explicitly considers driver…
Segment routing (SR) offers precise control over the paths taken: it specifies a list of detours, called segments, in IP packets. However, the number of detours that can be specified is limited by the hardware. When calculating segment…
