Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…
Agency is an important human characteristic that users of automated complex technologies are usually denied. This affects the user's experience leading to decreased satisfaction and productivity. In this paper, we consider the ridesharing…
Taxi services are an integral part of urban transport and are a major contributor to air pollution and traffic congestion, which adversely affect human life and health. Sharing taxi rides is one way to reduce the unfavorable effects of cab…
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…
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…
In a ride-pooling system, travellers experience discomfort associated with a detour and a longer travel time, which is compensated with a sharing discount. Most studies assume travellers receive either a flat discount or, in rare cases, a…
The ridesharing economy is experiencing rapid growth and innovation. Companies such as Uber and Lyft are continuing to grow at a considerable pace while providing their platform as an organizing medium for ridesharing services, increasing…
We study revenue-optimal pricing and driver compensation in ridesharing platforms when drivers have heterogeneous preferences over locations. If a platform ignores drivers' location preferences, it may make inefficient trip dispatches;…
Autonomous ridesharing systems (ARS) promise many societal and environmental benefits, including decreased accident rates, reduced energy consumption and pollutant emissions, and diminished land use for parking. To unleash ARS' potential,…
Many public transportation systems are unable to keep up with growing passenger demand as the population grows in urban areas. The slow or lack of improvements for public transportation pushes people to use private transportation modes,…
Modern cities increasingly rely on ridesharing services for on-demand transportation, which offer consumers convenience and mobility across the globe. However, these marketed consumer affordances give rise to burdens and vulnerabilities…
By utilising vehicle capacity more efficiently, ride-pooling platforms can potentially lead to reduced congestion levels without adversely prolonging travel times. While previous studies concluded that shared rides can offer substantial…
Dynamic ride-sharing services, including ride-pooling offered by ride-hailing platforms and demand-responsive buses, have become an essential part of urban mobility systems. These services cater to personalized and on-demand mobility…
Ride-hailing services have skyrocketed in popularity due to the convenience they offer, but recent research has shown that their pricing strategies can have a disparate impact on some riders, such as those living in disadvantaged…
This study investigates the development dilemma of ride-sharing services using real-world mobility datasets from nine cities and calibrated customers' price and detour elasticity. Through massive numerical experiments, this study reveals…
Rideshare is one way to share mobility in transportation without increasing traffic demand, where travel mobility and usage of vehicle capacity can be improved. However, current literature on rideshare has allowed only one-modal trips and…
Shared automated mobility-on-demand promises efficient, sustainable, and flexible transportation. Nevertheless, security concerns, resilience, and their mutual influence - especially at night - will likely be the most critical barriers to…
Autonomous mobility on demand systems, though still in their infancy, have very promising prospects in providing urban population with sustainable and safe personal mobility in the near future. While much research has been conducted on both…
The maintenance of big cities public transport service quality requires constant monitoring, which may become an expensive and time-consuming practice. The perception of quality, from the users point of view is an important aspect of…
We are exploring the enhancement of models of agent behaviour with more "human-like" decision making strategies than are presently available. Our motivation is to developed with a view to as the decision analysis and support for electric…
