Ride-hailing services have expanded the role of shared mobility in passenger transportation systems, creating new markets and creative planning solutions for major urban centers. In this paper, we consider their use for the first-mile or…
We consider two covering variants of the network design problem. We are given a set of origin/destination pairs, called O/D pairs, and each such O/D pair is covered if there exists a path in the network from the origin to the destination…
Transit Network Design is a well-studied problem in the field of transportation, typically addressed by solving optimization models under fixed demand assumptions. Considering the limitations of these assumptions, this paper proposes a new…
We formalize one aspect of reliability in the context of Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems by acknowledging the uncertainty in the pick-up time of these services. This study answers two key questions: i) how the difference between the stated…
This paper presents a modeling and design optimization framework for an Electric Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand system that allows for ride-pooling, i.e., multiple users can be transported at the same time towards a similar direction to…
We propose a centralized transportation system that integrates public transit with ridesharing to provide multimodal transportation. At each time interval, the system receives a set of personal drivers, designated drivers, and public…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…
In this paper, we study the cooperative operation problem between the fleet operator and incentive-aware customers in an on-demand delivery system. Specifically, the fleet operator offers discounts on transportation costs in exchange of the…
Although shared rides have the potential to increase vehicle utilization and reduce congestion and emissions, these benefits depend heavily on ridesharing platforms' ability to match riders effectively. As such, shared rides have seen…
With the growing attention towards developing the multimodal transport system to enhance urban mobility, there is an increasing need to construct new, rebuild or expand existing infrastructure to facilitate existing and accommodate newly…
The last-mile problem refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to home or other destination. Last-Mile Transportation Systems (LMTS), which have recently emerged, provide on-demand shared…
Concepts of Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), which feature the integration of various shared-use mobility options, have gained widespread popularity in recent years. While these concepts promise great benefits to…
Mobility-on-demand (MoD) ridesharing is a promising way to improve the occupancy rate of personal vehicles and reduce traffic congestion and emissions. Maximizing the number of passengers served and maximizing a profit target are major…
In autonomous Mobility on Demand (MOD) systems, customers request rides from a fleet of shared vehicles that can be automatically positioned in response to customer demand. Recent approaches to MOD systems have focused on environments where…
With an increasing need for more flexible mobility services, we consider an operational problem arising in the planning of Demand Adaptive Systems (DAS). Motivated by the decision of whether to accept or reject passenger requests in real…
On-demand shared mobility is a promising and sustainable transportation approach that can mitigate vehicle externalities, such as traffic congestion and emission. On-demand shared mobility systems require matching of one (one-to-one) or…
The goal of this paper is to develop a modeling framework that captures the inter-decision dynamics between mobility service providers (MSPs) and travelers that can be used to optimize and analyze policies/regulations related to MSPs. To…
In this research, we propose a series of methodologies to mine transit riders travel pattern and behavioral preferences, and then we use these knowledges to adjust and optimize the transit systems. Contributions are: 1) To increase the data…
Recent years have witnessed an increased focus on interpretability and the use of machine learning to inform policy analysis and decision making. This paper applies machine learning to examine travel behavior and, in particular, on modeling…
An algorithm to cluster mobility-on-demand trips considering road network structure is developed in this paper. The benefits of our network partition algorithm are demonstrated in numerical simulations, showing that we can use fewer…
