One of the main problems that local authorities of large cities have to face is the regulation of urban mobility. They need to provide the means to allow for the efficient movement of people and distribution of goods. However, the…
The rapid expansion of ride-hailing services has significantly reshaped urban on-demand mobility patterns, but it still remains unclear how they perform relative to traditional street-hailing services and how effective are related policy…
While analysis of urban commuting data has a long and demonstrated history of providing useful insights into human mobility behavior, such analysis has been performed largely in offline fashion and to aid medium-to-long term urban planning.…
The transport sector is witnessing unprecedented levels of disruption. Privately owned cars that operate on internal combustion engines have been the dominant modes of passenger transport for much of the last century. However, recent…
With people constantly migrating to different urban areas, our mobility needs for work, services and leisure are transforming rapidly. The changing urban demographics pose several challenges for the efficient management of transit services.…
This study explores the potential of using public transportation systems for freight delivery, where we intend to utilize the spare capacities of public vehicles like buses, trams, metros, and trains, particularly during off-peak hours, to…
A peer to peer ridesharing system connects drivers who are using their personal vehicles to conduct their daily activities with passengers who are looking for rides. A well-designed and properly implemented ridesharing system can bring…
Research on connected vehicles represents a continuously evolving technological domain, fostered by the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm and the recent advances in intelligent transportation systems. Nowadays, vehicles are…
Reorganizing bus frequency to cater for the actual travel demand can save the cost of the public transport system significantly. Many, if not all, existing studies formulate this as a bus frequency optimization problem which tries to…
This article proposes two different approaches to automatically create a map for valid on-street car parking spaces. For this, we use car sharing park-out events data. The first one uses spatial aggregation and the second a machine learning…
The metro system is playing an increasingly important role in the urban public transit network, transferring a massive human flow across space everyday in the city. In recent years, extensive research studies have been conducted to improve…
In this paper we study the routing and rebalancing problem for a fleet of autonomous vehicles providing on-demand transportation within a congested urban road network (that is, a road network where traffic speed depends on vehicle density).…
In this paper, we propose a closed queueing network model for performance analysis of electric vehicle sharing systems with a certain number of chargers in each neighborhood. Depending on the demand distribution, we devise algorithms to…
The paper addresses the Vehicle Relocation Problem in free-floating car-sharing services by presenting a solution focused on strategies for repositioning vehicles and transferring personnel with the use of scooters. Our method begins by…
Ride-pooling, which accommodates multiple passenger requests in a single trip, has the potential to significantly increase fleet utilization in shared mobility platforms. The ride-pooling assignment problem finds optimal co-riders to…
The design of integrated mobility-on-demand services requires jointly considering the interactions between traveler choice behavior and operators' operation policies to design a financially sustainable pricing scheme. However, most existing…
In autonomous mobility-on-demand systems, effectively managing vehicle flows to mitigate induced congestion and ensure efficient operations is imperative for system performance and positive customer experience. Against this background, we…
The emerging technology enabling autonomy in vehicles has led to a variety of new problems in transportation networks, such as planning and perception for autonomous vehicles. Other works consider social objectives such as decreasing fuel…
Short-term future of automated driving can be imagined as a hybrid scenario in which both automated and human-driven vehicles co-exist in the same environment. In order to address the needs of such road configuration, many technology…
The transition to electric mobility hinges on maximising aggregate adoption while also facilitating equitable access. This study examines whether the 'charging divide' between households with and without off-street parking reflects a…
