Transportation service providers that dispatch drivers and vehicles to riders start to support both on-demand ride requests posted in real time and rides scheduled in advance, leading to new challenges which, to the best of our knowledge,…
A ride sharing problem is considered where we are given a graph, whose edges are equipped with a travel cost, plus a set of objects, each associated with a transportation request given by a pair of origin and destination nodes. A vehicle…
Multi-hop uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are promising to extend the terrestrial network coverage. Existing multi-hop UAV networks employ a single routing path by selecting the next-hop forwarding node in a hop-by-hop manner, which…
Travel time in urban centers is a significant contributor to the quality of living of its citizens. Mobility on Demand (MoD) services such as Uber and Lyft have revolutionized the transportation infrastructure, enabling new solutions for…
We consider several variants of a car-sharing problem. Given are a number of requests each consisting of a pick-up location and a drop-off location, a number of cars, and nonnegative, symmetric travel times that satisfy the triangle…
In optimization of a shared autonomous electric vehicle (SAEV) system, idle vehicle relocation strategies are important to reduce operation costs and customers' wait time. However, for an on-demand service, continuous optimization for idle…
This paper proposes a general equilibrium model for multi-passenger ridesharing systems, in which interactions between ridesharing drivers, passengers, platforms, and transportation networks are endogenously captured. Stable matching is…
The development of connected and automated vehicles is the key to improving urban mobility safety and efficiency. This paper focuses on cooperative vehicle management at a signal-free intersection with consideration of vehicle modeling…
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…
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-sharing can reduce traffic congestion and thus reduce gas emissions and save travel time. However, transportation system with ride-sharing is currently inefficient due to low occupancy rate, high travel demand and some other factors.…
Communication reliability improving is one of most important research requirements in cognitive networks, as 5G communications technology rapidly develop nowadays. In this paper, we propose generalized optimal cloud-based region relays…
Todays ride sharing services still mimic a better billboard. They list the offers and allow to search for the source and target city, sometimes enriched with radial search. So finding a connection between big cities is quite easy. These…
This paper proposes the use of an on-demand, ride hailed and ride-Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) service as a feasible solution to serve the mobility needs of a small city where fixed route, circulator type public transportation may be too…
Nowadays, ridesharing has become one of the most popular services offered by online ride-hailing platforms (e.g., Uber and Didi Chuxing). Existing ridesharing platforms adopt the strategy that dispatches orders over the entire city at a…
One of the key ideas to make Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) work effectively is to deploy advanced communication and cooperative control technologies among the vehicles and road infrastructures. In this spirit, we propose a…
While conventional shared demand-responsive transportation (SDRT) systems mostly operate on a door-to-door policy, the usage of meeting points for the pick-up and drop-off of user groups can offer several advantages, like fewer stops and…
The increasing popularity of cloud computing has resulted in a proliferation of data centers. Effective placement of data centers improves network performance and minimizes clients' perceived latency. The problem of determining the optimal…
We investigate the stochastic transfer synchronization problem, which seeks to synchronize the timetables of different routes in a transit network to reduce transfer waiting times, delay times, and unnecessary in-vehicle times. We present a…
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity to optimize energy consumption and travel time. Several approaches have been proposed in the literature that allow CAVs to coordinate in situations where there…
