Ride-hailing is a sustainable transportation paradigm where riders access door-to-door traveling services through a mobile phone application, which has attracted a colossal amount of usage. There are two major planning tasks in a…
The rapid expansion of ride-hailing services has significantly reshaped urban on-demand mobility patterns, but it still remains unclear how they perform relative to traditional street-hailing services and how effective are related policy…
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…
As the debate over the future of transportation continues in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic as a deepening global crisis, taxi industry seems to be not spared by the quick and disrupting changes that may arise from the pandemic. The…
The culture of sharing instead of ownership is sharply increasing in individuals behaviors. Particularly in transportation, concepts of sharing a ride in either carpooling or ridesharing have been recently adopted. An efficient optimization…
Understanding individual mobility behavior is critical for modeling urban transportation. It provides deeper insights on the generative mechanisms of human movements. Emerging data sources such as mobile phone call detail records, social…
We are in the midst of a technology-driven transformation of the urban mobility landscape. However, unfortunately these new innovations are still dominated by car-centric personal mobility, which leads to concerns such as environmental…
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…
This paper presents a new ridesharing simulation platform that accounts for dynamic driver supply and passenger demand, and complex interactions between drivers and passengers. The proposed simulation platform explicitly considers driver…
Mobility resilience refers to the ability of individuals to complete their desired travel despite unplanned disruptions to the transportation system. The potential of new on-demand mobility options, such as ridesourcing services, to fill…
The spread of COVID-19 has been a major disruptive force in people's everyday lives and mobility behavior. The demand for on-demand ride services, such as taxis and ridehailing has been specifically impacted, given both restrictions in…
We assume that urban travelers may prefer flexible modes of transportation over conventional public transport (PT) for making non-routine trips, and estimate the potential for such modal switch based on a database of 63 million smartcard…
Dynamic demand prediction is a key issue in ride-hailing dispatching. Many methods have been developed to improve the demand prediction accuracy of an increase in demand-responsive, ride-hailing transport services. However, the…
Shared rides are often considered to be a promising travel alternative that could efficiently pool people together while offering a door-to-door service. Notwithstanding, even though demand distribution patterns are expected to greatly…
Transit is essential for urban transportation and achieving net-zero targets. In urban areas like the Chicago Metropolitan Region, transit enhances mobility and connects people, fostering a dynamic economy. To quantify the mobility and…
Public transit disruption is becoming more common across different transit services, which can have a destructive influence on the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system. Utilizing a recently collected data of transit users…
The growth of ridehailing (RH) companies over the past few years has affected urban mobility in numerous ways. Despite widespread claims about the benefits of such services, limited research has been conducted on the topic. This paper…
Ride-sharing services are revolutionizing urban mobility while simultaneously raising significant concerns regarding fairness and driver equity. This study employs Chicago Trip Network Provider dataset to investigate disparities in…
Ridesourcing platforms recently introduced the ``schedule a ride'' service where passengers may reserve (book-ahead) a ride in advance of their trip. Reservations give platforms precise information that describes the start time and location…
Shifting travel from private cars to public transport is critical for meeting climate and related mobility goals, yet passengers will only choose transit if it offers a consistently positive experience. Previous studies of passenger…
