The inefficiency of selfish routing in congested networks is a classical problem in algorithmic game theory, often captured by the Price of Anarchy (i.e., the ratio between the social cost of decentralized decisions and that of a centrally…
Corporate mobility is often based on a fixed assignment of vehicles to employees. Relaxing this fixation and including alternatives such as public transportation or taxis for business and private trips could increase fleet utilization and…
This study examines the potential impact of reinforcement learning (RL)-enabled autonomous vehicles (AV) on urban traffic flow in a mixed traffic environment. We focus on a simplified day-to-day route choice problem in a multi-agent…
Due to its agility and mobility, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a promising technology to provide high-quality mobile services (e.g., fast Internet access, edge computing, and local caching) to ground users. Major Internet Service…
We study the system-level effects of the introduction of large populations of Electric Vehicles on the power and transportation networks. We assume that each EV owner solves a decision problem to pick a cost-minimizing charge and travel…
As electric vehicle (EV) technologies become mature, EV has been rapidly adopted in modern transportation systems, and is expected to provide future autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) service with economic and societal benefits. However,…
Connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), which represent a significant advancement in autonomous driving technology, have the potential to greatly increase traffic safety and efficiency through cooperative decision-making. However, existing…
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations are expected to transform air transportation while challenging current air traffic management practices. By introducing a novel market-based mechanism, we address the problem of on-demand allocation of…
We consider an autonomous vehicle (AV) agent performing a long-term cost-minimization problem in the elapsed time $T$ over sequences of states $s_{1:T}$ and actions $a_{1:T}$ for some fixed, known (though potentially learned) cost function…
In large-scale multi-agent systems like taxi fleets, individual agents (taxi drivers) are self-interested (maximizing their own profits) and this can introduce inefficiencies in the system. One such inefficiency is with regard to the…
We study the dynamics and equilibria of a new kind of routing games, where players - drivers of future autonomous vehicles - may switch between individual (HDV) and collective (CAV) routing. In individual routing, just like today, drivers…
We present an adaptive control scheme to enable the emergence of order within distributed, autonomous multi-agent systems. Past studies showed that under high-density conditions, order generated from traffic-following behavior reduces…
Traffic congestion has lead to an increasing emphasis on management measures for a more efficient utilization of existing infrastructure. In this context, this paper proposes a novel framework that integrates real-time optimization of…
Ride-hailing systems often suffer from spatiotemporal supply-demand imbalances, largely due to the independent and uncoordinated actions of drivers. While existing fleet rebalancing methods offer repositioning recommendations to idle…
With the adoption of autonomous vehicles on our roads, we will witness a mixed-autonomy environment where autonomous and human-driven vehicles must learn to co-exist by sharing the same road infrastructure. To attain socially-desirable…
Optimizing shared vehicle systems (bike/scooter/car/ride-sharing) is more challenging compared to traditional resource allocation settings due to the presence of \emph{complex network externalities} -- changes in the demand/supply at any…
We present a stylized model of the allocation of resources on a network. By considering as a concrete example the network of sectors of the airspace, where each node is a sector characterized by a maximal number of simultaneously present…
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to increase the capacity of roads via platooning, even when human drivers and autonomous vehicles share roads. However, when users of a road network choose their routes selfishly, the resulting traffic…
