Balancing passenger demand and vehicle availability is crucial for ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of urban transportation systems. To address this challenge, we propose a novel hierarchical strategy for the efficient…
In this paper, we focus on the autonomous multiagent taxi routing problem for a large urban environment where the location and number of future ride requests are unknown a-priori, but can be estimated by an empirical distribution. Recent…
Platooning of vehicles is a promising approach for reducing fuel consumption, increasing vehicle safety, and using road space more efficiently. We consider the important but difficult problem of assigning optimal routes and departure…
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…
Ubiquitous mobile computing have enabled ride-hailing services to collect vast amounts of behavioral data of riders and drivers and optimize supply and demand matching in real time. While these mobility service providers have some degree of…
On-demand ridepooling systems offer flexible services pooling multiple passengers into one vehicle, complementing traditional bus services. We propose a transportation system combining the spatial aspects of a fixed sequence of bus stops…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…
The airport game is a classical and well-known model of fair cost-sharing for a single facility among multiple agents. This paper extends it to the so-called assignment setting, that is, for multiple facilities and agents, each agent…
One of the main operational challenges faced by the operators of one-way car-sharing systems is to ensure vehicle availability across the regions of the service areas with uneven patterns of rental requests. Fleet balancing strategies are…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) services have been an active research topic in recent years. Many studies focused on developing control algorithms to supply efficient services. To cope with a large search space to solve the underlying vehicle…
Corporate mobility is often based on a fixed assignment of vehicles to employees. Relaxing this fixation and including alternatives such as public transportation or taxis for business and private trips could increase fleet utilization and…
A fundamental question in any peer-to-peer ride-sharing system is how to, both effectively and efficiently, meet the request of passengers to balance the supply and demand in real time. On the passenger side, traditional approaches focus on…
This paper studies the problem of allocating tasks from different customers to vehicles in mobility platforms, which are used for applications like food and package delivery, ridesharing, and mobile sensing. A mobility platform should…
