We consider a multi-stage stochastic lot-sizing problem with service level constraints and supplier-driven product substitution. A firm has multiple products and it has the option to meet demand from substitutable products at a cost.…
Mobility on Demand (MoD) refers to mobility systems that operate on the basis of immediate travel demand. Typically, such a system consists of a fleet of vehicles that can be booked by customers when needed. The operation of these services…
Contrary to traditional transit services, supply in ridesourcing systems emerges from individual labour decisions of gig workers. The effect of decentralisation in supply on the evolution of on-demand transit services is largely unknown. To…
If private vehicle trips can be replaced, ride-pooling services can decrease parking space needed by higher vehicle utilization and increase traffic efficiency by increasing vehicle occupancy. Nevertheless, substantial benefits can only be…
Over the past few years, ride-sharing has emerged as an effective way to relieve traffic congestion. A key problem for these platforms is to come up with a revenue-optimal (or GMV-optimal) pricing scheme and an induced vehicle dispatching…
Autonomous vehicles will be an integral part of ride-sharing services in the future. This setting differs from traditional ride-sharing marketplaces because of the absence of the supply side (drivers). However, it has far-reaching…
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…
On-Demand Ride-Pooling services have the potential to increase traffic efficiency compared to private vehicle trips by decreasing parking space needed and increasing vehicle occupancy due to higher vehicle utilization and shared trips,…
Ridesharing platforms match riders and drivers, using dynamic pricing to balance supply and demand. The origin-based "surge pricing", however, does not take into consideration market conditions at trip destinations, leading to inefficient…
Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for…
Ride-sharing - the combination of multiple trips into one - may substantially contribute towards sustainable urban mobility. It is most efficient at high demand locations with many similar trip requests. However, here we reveal that…
The potential of an efficient ride-sharing scheme to significantly reduce traffic congestion, lower emission level, as well as facilitating the introduction of smart cities has been widely demonstrated. This positive thrust however is faced…
Ride-hailing platforms typically classify drivers as either employees or independent contractors. These classifications tend to emphasize either wage certainty or flexibility, but rarely both. We study an alternative or complementary…
In this paper, we study the challenging problem of how to balance taxi distribution across a city in a dynamic ridesharing service. First, we introduce the architecture of the dynamic ridesharing system and formally define the performance…
Mobility-on-demand systems like ride-hailing have transformed urban transportation, but they have also exacerbated socio-economic inequalities in access to these services, also due to surge pricing strategies. Although several…
This paper analyzes a service system modeled as a single-server queue, in which the service provider aims to dynamically maximize the expected revenue per unit of time. This is achieved by constructing a stochastic gradient descent…
The intelligent upgrading of metropolitan rail transit systems has made it feasible to implement demand-side management policies that integrate multiple operational strategies in practical operations. However, the tight interdependence…
Challenged by urbanization and increasing travel needs, existing transportation systems need new mobility paradigms. In this article, we present the emerging concept of autonomous mobility-on-demand, whereby centrally orchestrated fleets of…
In this paper we study a dynamic vehicle routing problem in which there are multiple vehicles and multiple classes of demands. Demands of each class arrive in the environment randomly over time and require a random amount of on-site service…
Effective utilization of charging station capacity plays an important role in enhancing the profitability of ride-hailing systems using electric vehicles. Existing studies assume constant energy prices and uncapacitated charging stations or…
