Car-hailing services have become a prominent data source for urban traffic studies. Extracting useful information from car-hailing trace data is essential for effective traffic management, while discrepancies between car-hailing vehicles…
Transportation companies and organizations routinely collect huge volumes of passenger transportation data. By aggregating these data (e.g., counting the number of passengers going from a place to another in every 30 minute interval), it…
Growth in leisure travel has become increasingly significant economically, socially, and environmentally. However, flexible but uncoordinated travel behaviors exacerbate traffic congestion. Mobile phone records not only reveal human…
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…
Both assistant driving and self-driving have attracted a great amount of attention in the last few years. However, the majority of research efforts focus on safe driving; few research has been conducted on in-vehicle climate control, or…
We introduce KaRRi, an improved algorithm for scheduling a fleet of shared vehicles as it is used by services like UberXShare and Lyft Shared. We speed up the basic online algorithm that looks for all possible insertions of a new customer…
With the advent of self-driving cars, experts envision autonomous mobility-on-demand services in the near future to cope with overloaded transportation systems in cities worldwide. Efficient operations are imperative to unlock such a…
Stop location detection, within human mobility studies, has an impacts in multiple fields including urban planning, transport network design, epidemiological modeling, and socio-economic segregation analysis. However, it remains a…
The problem of mobile sequential recommendation is presented to suggest a route connecting some pick-up points for a taxi driver so that he/she is more likely to get passengers with less travel cost. Essentially, a key challenge of this…
In this paper, we propose a novel, computational efficient, dynamic ridesharing algorithm. The beneficial computational properties of the algorithm arise from casting the ridesharing problem as a linear assignment problem between fleet…
Electric Vehicle (EV) sharing systems have recently experienced unprecedented growth across the globe. Many car sharing service providers as well as automobile manufacturers are entering this competition by expanding both their EV fleets…
Existing studies have extensively used spatiotemporal data to discover the mobility patterns of various types of travellers. Smart card data (SCD) collected by the automated fare collection systems can reflect a general view of the mobility…
Travel decisions are fundamental to understanding human mobility, urban economy, and sustainability, but measuring it is challenging and controversial. Previous studies of taxis are limited to taxi stands or hail markets at aggregate…
Ride-sharing platforms like Uber market themselves as enabling `flexibility' for their workforce, meaning that drivers are expected to anticipate when and where the algorithm will allocate them jobs, and how well remunerated those jobs will…
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,…
This paper considers the problem of measuring spatial and temporal variation in driver productivity on ride-sourcing trips. This variation is especially important from a driver's perspective: if a platform's drivers experience systematic…
This study presents a novel small-area estimation framework to enhance urban transportation planning through detailed characterization of travel behavior. Our approach improves on the four-step travel model by employing publicly available…
In this paper, we address the vehicle scheduling problem for improving passenger safety in bus rapid transit systems. Our focus is on passengers waiting at street stops to enter terminal stations. To enhance their safety, we minimize…
Time-sensitive parcel deliveries, shipments requested for delivery in a day or less, are an increasingly important research subject. It is challenging to deal with these deliveries from a carrier perspective since it entails additional…
Mobility-on-demand systems are transforming the way we think about the transportation of people and goods. Most research effort has been placed on scalability issues for systems with a large number of agents and simple pick-up/drop-off…
