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…
We are in the midst of a technology-driven transformation of the urban mobility landscape. However, unfortunately these new innovations are still dominated by car-centric personal mobility, which leads to concerns such as environmental…
In dynamic ride-sharing systems, intelligent repositioning of idle vehicles enables service providers to maximize vehicle utilization and minimize request rejection rates as well as customer waiting times. In current practice, this task is…
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…
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…
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…
The emergence of on-demand ride pooling services allows each vehicle to serve multiple passengers at a time, thus increasing drivers' income and enabling passengers to travel at lower prices than taxi/car on-demand services (only one…
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…
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 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…
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…
The shift from private vehicles to public and shared transport is crucial to reducing emissions and meeting climate targets. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop a multimodal transport trip planning approach that integrates…
This paper considers the dispatching of large-scale real-time ride-sharing systems to address congestion issues faced by many cities. The goal is to serve all customers (service guarantees) with a small number of vehicles while minimizing…
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…
This case-study aims at a comparison of the service quality of time-tabled buses as compared to on-demand ridepooling cabs in the late evening hours in the city of Wuppertal, Germany. To evaluate the service quality of ridepooling as…
Autonomous Mobility On Demand (MOD) systems can utilize fleet management strategies in order to provide a high customer quality of service (QoS). Previous works on autonomous MOD systems have developed methods for rebalancing single…
Ride-hailing services have expanded the role of shared mobility in passenger transportation systems, creating new markets and creative planning solutions for major urban centers. In this paper, we consider their use for the first-mile or…
Ride-pooling (or ride-sharing) services combine trips of multiple customers along similar routes into a single vehicle. The collective dynamics of the fleet of ride-pooling vehicles fundamentally underlies the efficiency of these services.…
Efficient timing in ride-matching is crucial for improving the performance of ride-hailing and ride-pooling services, as it determines the number of drivers and passengers considered in each matching process. Traditional batched matching…
While carpooling is widely adopted for long travels, it is by construction inefficient for daily commuting, where it is difficult to match drivers and riders, sharing similar origin, destination and time. To overcome this limitation, we…
