Agency is an important human characteristic that users of automated complex technologies are usually denied. This affects the user's experience leading to decreased satisfaction and productivity. In this paper, we consider the ridesharing…
Innovative shared mobility services provide on-demand flexible mobility options and have the potential to alleviate traffic congestion. These attractive services are challenging from different perspectives. One major challenge in such…
Transportation service providers that dispatch drivers and vehicles to riders start to support both on-demand ride requests posted in real time and rides scheduled in advance, leading to new challenges which, to the best of our knowledge,…
On-demand peer-to-peer ride-sharing services provide flexible mobility options, and are expected to alleviate congestion by sharing empty car seats. An efficient matching algorithm is essential to the success of a ride-sharing system. The…
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…
Integrating ridesharing matching explicitly into multimodal traffic models is crucial for accurately assessing the impacts of multimodal transport (MT) on urban economic and environmental aspects. This paper integrates an optimal…
Timely evacuation is crucial to disaster response, as people can avoid suffering and loss of lives when a major disaster happens. With the development of sharing economy, ridesharing has the advantage of reducing congestion, saving travel…
Traffic congestion has large economic and social costs. The introduction of autonomous vehicles can potentially reduce this congestion by increasing road capacity via vehicle platooning and by creating an avenue for influencing people's…
Ride-sharing on the daily home-work-home commute can help individuals save on gasoline and other car-related costs, while at the same time it can reduce traffic and pollution. This paper assesses the potential of ride-sharing for reducing…
Today, driverless cars, as a new technology that allows a more accessible, dynamic and intelligent form of Shared Mobility, are expected to revolutionize urban transportation. One of the conceivable mobility services based on driverless…
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…
One-way car-sharing systems are transportation systems that allow customers to rent cars at stations scattered around the city, use them for a short journey, and return them at any station. The maximum customers' satisfaction problem…
We develop an event-driven Receding Horizon Control (RHC) scheme for a Ride Sharing System (RSS) in a transportation network where vehicles are shared to pick up and drop off passengers so as to minimize a weighted sum of passenger waiting…
With ongoing developments in digitalization and advances in the field of autonomous driving, on-demand ride pooling is a mobility service with the potential to disrupt the urban mobility market. Nevertheless, to apply this kind of service…
In a ride-pooling system, travellers experience discomfort associated with a detour and a longer travel time, which is compensated with a sharing discount. Most studies assume travellers receive either a flat discount or, in rare cases, a…
In recent years, ridesharing platforms have become a prominent mode of transportation for the residents of urban areas. As a fundamental problem, route recommendation for these platforms is vital for their sustenance. The works done in this…
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 popularity of on-demand ride pooling is owing to the benefits offered to customers (lower prices), taxi drivers (higher revenue), environment (lower carbon footprint due to fewer vehicles) and aggregation companies like Uber (higher…
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…
Current advances in the development of autonomous cars suggest that driverless cars may see wide-scale deployment in the near future. Research by both industry and academia is driven by potential benefits of this new technology, including…
