Autonomous driving is a key technology towards a brighter, more sustainable future. To enable such a future, it is necessary to utilize autonomous vehicles in shared mobility models. However, to evaluate, whether two or more route requests…
Last-mile logistics is regarded as an essential yet highly expensive component of parcel logistics. In dense urban environments, this is partially caused by inherent inefficiencies due to traffic congestion and the disparity and…
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…
With the increasing popularity of ride-hailing services, new modes of transportation are having a significant impact on the overall performance of transportation networks. As a result, there is a need to ensure that both the various…
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,…
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to increase the capacity of roads via platooning, even when human drivers and autonomous vehicles share roads. However, when users of a road network choose their routes selfishly, the resulting traffic…
The growth in online goods delivery is causing a dramatic surge in urban vehicle traffic from last-mile deliveries. On the other hand, ride-sharing has been on the rise with the success of ride-sharing platforms and increased research on…
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…
Ride-pooling, also known as ride-sharing, shared ride-hailing, or microtransit, is a service wherein passengers share rides. This service can reduce costs for both passengers and operators and reduce congestion and environmental impacts. A…
Ride-pooling services have been growing in popularity, increasing the need for efficient and effective operations. The main goal of ride-pooling services is to maximize the number of passengers served while minimizing wait and delay times.…
The popularity of on-demand ride pooling is owing to the benefits offered to customers (lower prices), taxi drivers (higher revenue), environment (lower carbon footprint due to fewer vehicles) and aggregation companies like Uber (higher…
Drivers offering spare seats in their vehicles on long-distance (interurban) trips often have to pick up or drop off passengers in cities en route. In that case it is necessary to agree on a meeting point. Often, this is done by proposing…
Ride-sharing may substantially contribute to future-compliant sustainable mobility, both in urban and rural areas. The service quality of ride-sharing fleets jointly depends on the topology of the underlying street networks, the…
Today mobile users are intensively interconnected thanks to the emerging mobile social networks, where they share location-based information with each other when traveling on different routes and visit different areas of the city. In our…
The design of integrated mobility-on-demand services requires jointly considering the interactions between traveler choice behavior and operators' operation policies to design a financially sustainable pricing scheme. However, most existing…
The technology-enabled ride-pooling (RP) is designed as an on-demand feeder service to connect remote areas to transit terminals (or activity centers). We propose the so-called ``hold-dispatch'' operation strategy, which imposes a target…
Traffic jams in urban scenarios are often caused by bottlenecks related to the street topology and road infrastructure, e.g. traffic lights and merging of lanes. Instead of addressing traffic flow optimization in a static way by extending…
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…
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.…
Bike-sharing systems have been regarded as a critical component of solutions towards the transition to greener and more sustainable transportation, with the benefits of reducing carbon emissions, improving public health, and mitigating…
