Autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) systems, centrally coordinated fleets of self-driving vehicles, offer a promising alternative to traditional ride-hailing by improving traffic flow and reducing operating costs. Centralized control in…
The emergence of ride-sourcing platforms has brought an innovative alternative in transportation, radically changed travel behaviors, and suggested new directions for transportation planners and operators. This paper provides an exploratory…
Ride-pooling systems, despite being an appealing urban mobility mode, still struggle to gain momentum. While we know the significance of critical mass in reaching system sustainability, less is known about the spatiotemporal patterns of…
We study the robust charging station location problem for a large-scale commercial taxi fleet. Vehicles within the fleet coordinate on charging operations but not on customer acquisition. We decide on a set of charging stations to open to…
This paper considers a closed queueing network model of ridesharing systems such as Didi Chuxing, Lyft, and Uber. We focus on empty-car routing, a mechanism by which we control car flow in the network to optimize system-wide utility…
Following the growth of dock-based bike sharing systems as an eco-friendly solution for transportation in urban areas, Dockless systems are revolutionizing the market for the increased flexibility they offer to users. Bike redistribution is…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a shared control takeover strategy for smooth and safety control transition from an automation driving system to the human driver and to approve its positive impacts on drivers' behavior and…
Accurate taxi-demand prediction is essential for optimizing taxi operations and enhancing urban transportation services. However, using customers' data in these systems raises significant privacy and security concerns. Traditional federated…
Urban intersections are prone to delays and inefficiencies due to static precedence rules and occlusions limiting the view on prioritized traffic. Existing approaches to improve traffic flow, widely known as automatic intersection…
As an important supporting facility for electric vehicles, the reasonable planning and layout of charging stations are of great significance to the development of electric vehicles. However, the planning and layout of charging stations is…
This paper presents a queueing network approach to the analysis and control of mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems for urban personal transportation. A MoD system consists of a fleet of vehicles providing one-way car sharing service and a team…
Public transit systems in urban areas usually require large state subsidies, primarily due to high fare evasion rates. In this paper, we study new models for optimizing fare inspection strategies in transit networks based on bilevel…
The future of mobility-as-a-Service (Maas)should embrace an integrated system of ride-hailing, street-hailing and ride-sharing with optimised intelligent vehicle routing in response to a real-time, stochastic demand pattern. We aim to…
This work studies queues in a Euclidean space. Consider $N$ servers that are distributed uniformly in $[0,1]^d$. Customers arrive at the servers according to independent stationary processes. Upon arrival, they probabilistically decide…
Drive-by sensing is gaining popularity as an inexpensive way to perform fine-grained, city-scale, spatiotemporal monitoring of physical phenomena. Prior work explores several challenges in the design of low-cost sensors, the reliability of…
Urban rail services are the principal means of public transportation in many cities. To understand the crowding patterns and develop efficient operation strategies in the system, obtaining path choices is important. This paper proposed an…
Vacant taxi drivers' passenger seeking process in a road network generates additional vehicle miles traveled, adding congestion and pollution into the road network and the environment. This paper aims to employ a Markov Decision Process…
Heavy traffic congestion daily occurs at merging sections on highway. For releasing this congestion, possibility of alternative configuration of vehicles on multiple-lane road is discussed in this paper. This is the configuration where no…
In transportation systems (e.g. highways, railways, airports), traffic flows with distinct origin-destination pairs usually share common facilities and interact extensively. Such interaction is typically stochastic due to natural…
With accelerating urbanization and worsening traffic congestion, optimizing traffic signal systems to improve road throughput and alleviate congestion has become a critical issue. This study proposes a short-term traffic prediction model…
