Understanding travel demand and behavior, particularly route and mode choices, is critical for effective transportation planning and policy design in multi-modal systems with emerging mobility options. Multi-modal system-level data, such as…
In this paper, we present machine learning approaches for characterizing and forecasting the short-term demand for on-demand ride-hailing services. We propose the spatio-temporal estimation of the demand that is a function of variable…
In a Shared Mobility on Demand Service (SMoDS), dynamic pricing plays an important role in the form of an incentive for the decision of the empowered passenger on the ride offer. Strategies for determining the dynamic tariff should be…
The Urban Rail Transit (URT) has been one of the major trip modes in cities worldwide. As the passengers arrive at variable rates in different time slots, e.g., rush and non-rush hours, the departure frequency at a site directly relates to…
The performance of ride-sourcing services such as Uber and Lyft is determined by the collective choices of individual drivers who are not only chauffeurs but private fleet providers. In such a context, ride-sourcing drivers are free to…
We propose a ridesharing strategy with integrated transit in which a private on-demand mobility service operator may drop off a passenger directly door-to-door, commit to dropping them at a transit station or picking up from a transit…
Bicycle-sharing systems, which can provide shared bike usage services for the public, have been launched in many big cities. In bicycle-sharing systems, people can borrow and return bikes at any stations in the service region very…
By adapting bus routes to users' requests, Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) can serve low-demand areas more efficiently than conventional fixed-line buses. However, a main barrier to its adoption of DRT is its unpredictability, i.e., it is…
This paper presents a neural network recommender system algorithm for assigning vehicles to routes based on energy and cost criteria. In this work, we applied this new approach to efficiently identify the most cost-effective medium and…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) services have been an active research topic in recent years. Many studies focused on developing control algorithms to supply efficient services. To cope with a large search space to solve the underlying vehicle…
Activity generation plays an important role in activity-based demand modelling systems. While machine learning, especially deep learning, has been increasingly used for mode choice and traffic flow prediction, much less research exploiting…
Nowadays, artificial neural networks are widely used for users' online travel planning. Personalized travel planning has many real applications and is affected by various factors, such as transportation type, intention destination…
We study a pickup-and-delivery problem that arises when customers randomly submit requests over the course of a day from a choice of vendors on a collaborative e-commerce portal. Based on the attributes of a customer request, a dispatcher…
In designing dynamic shared service systems that incentivize customers to opt for shared rather than exclusive service, the traditional notion of individual rationality may be insufficient, as a customer's estimated utility could fluctuate…
In smart grid, the demand side management (DSM) techniques need to be designed to process a large number of controllable loads of several types. In this paper, we proposed a framework to study the demand side management in smart grid which…
Inspired by the success of deep learning (DL) in natural language processing (NLP), we applied cutting-edge DL techniques to predict flight departure demand in a strategic time horizon (4 hours or longer). This work was conducted in support…
While multimodal mobility systems have the potential to bring many benefits to travelers, drivers, the environment, and traffic congestion, such systems typically involve multiple non-cooperative decision-makers who may selfishly optimize…
Ridesourcing platforms recently introduced the ``schedule a ride'' service where passengers may reserve (book-ahead) a ride in advance of their trip. Reservations give platforms precise information that describes the start time and location…
Time-dependent Origin-Destination (OD) demand flows are fundamental inputs for Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) systems and real-time traffic management. This work introduces a novel state-space framework to estimate these demand flows in…
Staff scheduling is a well-known problem in operations research and finds its application at hospitals, airports, supermarkets, and many others. Its goal is to assign shifts to staff members such that a certain objective function, e.g.…
