Big, transport-related datasets are nowadays publicly available, which makes data-driven mobility analysis possible. Trips with their origins, destinations and travel times are collected in publicly available big databases, which allows for…
Bike sharing systems' popularity has consistently been rising during the past years. Managing and maintaining these emerging systems are indispensable parts of these systems. Visualizing the current operations can assist in getting a better…
For vehicle sharing schemes, where drop-off positions are not fixed, we propose a pricing scheme, where the price depends in part on the distance between where a vehicle is being dropped off and where the closest shared vehicle is parked.…
Bike sharing systems (BSS) have been a popular traveling service for years and are used worldwide. It is attractive for cities and users who wants to promote healthier lifestyles; to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emission as well…
As an economical and healthy mode of shared transportation, Bike Sharing System (BSS) develops quickly in many big cities. An accurate prediction method can help BSS schedule resources in advance to meet the demands of users, and definitely…
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…
In drone-assisted mobile networks, Drone-mounted Base Stations (DBSs) are responsively and flexibly deployed over any Places of Interest (PoI), such as sporadic hotspots and disaster-struck areas, where the existing mobile network…
Unlike the traditional dock-based systems, dockless bike-sharing systems are more convenient for users in terms of flexibility. However, the flexibility of these dockless systems comes at the cost of management and operation complexity.…
The static bike rebalancing problem (SBRP) concerns the task of repositioning bikes among stations in self-service bike-sharing systems. This problem can be seen as a variant of the one-commodity pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem,…
The paper addresses the Vehicle Relocation Problem in free-floating car-sharing services by presenting a solution focused on strategies for repositioning vehicles and transferring personnel with the use of scooters. Our method begins by…
This paper introduces a new generic problem to the literature of Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem. In this problem, multiple workers are assigned to a shared vehicle based on their qualifications and customer demands, and then the…
Traditional car-sharing services are based on the two-way scheme, where the user picks up and returns the vehicle at the same parking station. Some services permits also one-way trips, which allows the user to return the vehicle in another…
Micro-mobility ride-sharing is an emerging technology that provides access to the transit system with minimum environmental impacts. Significant research is required to ensure that micro-mobility ride-sharing provides a better fulfilment of…

Bike-sharing systems have emerged as a significant element of urban mobility, providing an environmentally friendly transportation alternative. With the increasing integration of electric bikes alongside mechanical bikes, it is crucial to…
Shared bicycles have emerged as a transformative force in urban transportation, effectively addressing the perennial 'last mile' challenge faced by commuters. The limitations of station-based bike-sharing systems, constrained by…
Bikesharing schemes are transportation systems that not only provide an efficient mode of transportation in congested urban areas, but also improve last-mile connectivity with public transportation and local accessibility. Bikesharing…
Bike sharing demand is increasing in large cities worldwide. The proper functioning of bike-sharing systems is, nevertheless, dependent on a balanced geographical distribution of bicycles throughout a day. In this context, understanding the…
Recommending routes by their probability of having a rider has long been the goal of conventional route recommendation systems. While this maximizes the platform-specific criteria of efficiency, it results in sub-optimal outcomes with the…
Dockless bike-sharing (DBS) users often encounter difficulties in finding available bikes at their preferred times and locations. This study examines the determinants of the users' mode shifts in the context of bike absence, using survey…
