We present a queuing model of parking dynamics and a model-based prediction method to provide real-time probabilistic forecasts of future parking occupancy. The queuing model has a non-homogeneous arrival rate and time-varying service time…
Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have experienced rapid growth, whose impacts on the power grid have become non-negligible. Though charging stations can install energy storage to reduce their impacts on the grid, the conventional…
A multi-modal transport system is acknowledged to have robust failure tolerance and can effectively relieve urban congestion issues. However, estimating the impact of disruptions across multi-transport modes is a challenging problem due to…
The last decade has seen a rapid rise in the number of bikeshare programs, where bikes are made available throughout a community on an as-needed basis. Given that many of these programs are at least partially publicly funded, a central…
Understanding city-scale vehicular mobility and trip patterns is essential to addressing many problems, from transportation and pollution to public safety, among others. Using spatio-temporal analysis of vehicular mobility, promising…
Cooperative driving at isolated intersections attracted great interest and had been well discussed in recent years. However, cooperative driving in multi-intersection road networks remains to be further investigated, because many algorithms…
As cars are ubiquitous they could play a major role in a next generation communication and computation framework. In the last years, the development of vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication took huge…
Ride-pooling (or ride-sharing) services combine trips of multiple customers along similar routes into a single vehicle. The collective dynamics of the fleet of ride-pooling vehicles fundamentally underlies the efficiency of these services.…
Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…
Mobility-on-demand systems are transforming the way we think about the transportation of people and goods. Most research effort has been placed on scalability issues for systems with a large number of agents and simple pick-up/drop-off…
Replacing a fossil fuel-powered car with an electric model can halve greenhouse gas emissions over the course of the vehicle's lifetime and reduce the noise pollution in urban areas. In green logistics, a well-scheduled charging ensures an…
Vehicle-to-anything connectivity, especially for autonomous vehicles, promises to increase passenger comfort and safety of road traffic, for example, by sharing perception and driving intention. Cooperative maneuver planning uses…
Ride-hailing is a sustainable transportation paradigm where riders access door-to-door traveling services through a mobile phone application, which has attracted a colossal amount of usage. There are two major planning tasks in a…
With the advent of self-driving cars, experts envision autonomous mobility-on-demand services in the near future to cope with overloaded transportation systems in cities worldwide. Efficient operations are imperative to unlock such a…
In bike sharing systems the quality of the service to the users strongly depends on the strategy adopted to reposition the bikes. The bike repositioning problem is in general very complex as it involves different interrelated decisions: the…
Recent developments in modular transport vehicles allow deploying multi-purpose vehicles which can alternately transport different kinds of flows. In this study, we propose a novel variant of the pickup and delivery problem, the…
In optimization of a shared autonomous electric vehicle (SAEV) system, idle vehicle relocation strategies are important to reduce operation costs and customers' wait time. However, for an on-demand service, continuous optimization for idle…
Future wireless network technology provides automobiles with the connectivity feature to consolidate the concept of vehicular networks that collaborate on conducting cooperative driving tasks. The full potential of connected vehicles, which…
We consider one-way vehicle sharing systems where customers can rent a car at one station and drop it off at another. The problem we address is to optimize the distribution of cars, and quality of service, by pricing rentals appropriately.…
Governments, regulatory bodies, and manufacturers are proposing plans to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), with the goal of reducing the impact of greenhouse gases and pollutants from internal combustion engines on human…
