On-demand ride-pooling has emerged as a popular urban transportation solution, addressing the efficiency limitations of traditional ride-hailing services by grouping multiple riding requests with spatiotemporal proximity into a single…
Ride-pooling is computationally challenging. The number of feasible rides grows with the number of travelers and the degree (capacity of the vehicle to perform a pooled ride) and quickly explodes to the sizes making the problem not solvable…
Ridepooling services require efficient optimization algorithms to simultaneously plan routes and pool users in shared rides. We consider a static dial-a-ride problem (DARP) where a series of origin-destination requests have to be assigned…
For on-demand dynamic ride-pooling services, e.g., Uber Pool and Didi Pinche, a well-designed vehicle dispatching strategy is crucial for platform profitability and passenger experience. Most existing dispatching strategies overlook…
This paper presents a framework to incorporate ride-pooling from a mesoscopic point of view, within time-invariant network flow models of Mobility-on-Demand systems. The resulting problem structure remains identical to a standard network…
This paper provides a unified framework for the problem of controlling a fleet of ride-hailing vehicles under stochastic demand. We introduce a sequential decision-making model that consolidates several problem characteristics and can be…
Car pooling is expected to significantly help in reducing traffic congestion and pollution in cities by enabling drivers to share their cars with travellers with similar itineraries and time schedules. A number of car pooling matching…
Ride sharing services combine trips of multiple users in the same vehicle and may provide more sustainable transport than private cars. As mobility demand varies during the day, the travel times experienced by passengers may substantially…
We study the feasibility of using electric vehicles in online, high-capacity ridepooling systems. Prior work has shown that online algorithms perform well for centrally-controlled, high-capacity ridepool systems. First, we propose a mixed…
Both ride-hailing services and electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular and it is likely that charging management of the ride-hailing vehicles will be a significant part of the ride-hailing company's operation in the near future.…
Ride sharing - the bundling of simultaneous trips of several people in one vehicle - may help to reduce the carbon footprint of human mobility. However, standard door-to-door ride sharing services trade reduced route length for increased…
Unlike commercial ridesharing, non-commercial peer-to-peer (P2P) ridesharing has been subject to limited research -- although it can promote viable solutions in non-urban communities. This paper focuses on the core problem in P2P…
Significant development of ride-sharing services presents a plethora of opportunities to transform urban mobility by providing personalized and convenient transportation while ensuring efficiency of large-scale ride pooling. However, a core…
Many emerging commercial services are based on the sharing or pooling of resources for common use with the aim of reducing costs. Businesses such as delivery-, mobility-, or transport-as-a-service have become standard in many parts of the…
In ride-pooling, a fleet of vehicles is dynamically dispatched to bring travelers from A to B, trying to pool riders with similar itineraries to improve the use of resources compared to taxis or private cars. Ride-pooling is considered a…
Ridesharing services, such as Uber or Didi, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their positive impact on environmental protection and the economy. Existing studies require quick responses to orders, which lack the…
Traditional round-trip car rental systems mandate users to return vehicles to their point of origin, limiting the system adaptability to meet diverse mobility demands. This constraint often leads to fleet under-utilization and incurs high…
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…
Peer-to-peer ridesharing (P2P-RS) enables people to arrange one-time rides with their own private cars, without the involvement of professional drivers. It is a prominent collective intelligence application producing significant benefits…
This paper presents a time-invariant network flow model capturing two-person ride-pooling that can be integrated within design and planning frameworks for Mobility-on-Demand systems. In these type of models, the arrival process of travel…
