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…
In face of the threat of a climate catastrophe and the resulting urgent need for decarbonization together with the widespread emergence of the sharing economy, shared pooled mobility has been suggested as an alternative to private vehicle…
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…
Ridesharing has been emerging as a new type of mobility. However, the early promises of ridesharing for alleviating congestion in cities may be undermined by a number of challenges, including the growing number of proposed services and the…
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…
Transformative mobility services present both considerable opportunities and challenges for urban mobility systems. Increasing attention is being paid to ridehailing platforms and connections between demand and continuous innovation in…
The transport sector accounts for about 20% of German CO2 emissions, with commuter traffic contributing a significant part. Particularly in rural areas, where public transport is inconvenient to use, private cars are a common choice for…
Rideshare is one way to share mobility in transportation without increasing traffic demand, where travel mobility and usage of vehicle capacity can be improved. However, current literature on rideshare has allowed only one-modal trips and…
In this paper, we study a variant of the dynamic ridesharing problem with a specific focus on peak hours: Given a set of drivers and rider requests, we aim to match drivers to each rider request by achieving two objectives: maximizing the…
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…
We study real-time routing policies in smart transit systems, where the platform has a combination of cars and high-capacity vehicles (e.g., buses or shuttles) and seeks to serve a set of incoming trip requests. The platform can use its…
Shared mobility-on-demand services are expanding rapidly in cities around the world. As a prominent example, app-based ridesourcing is becoming an integral part of many urban transportation ecosystems. Despite the centrality, limited public…
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,…
The performance of multimodal mobility systems relies on the seamless integration of conventional mass transit services and the advent of Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) services. Prior work is limited to individually improving various transport…
As a newly-emerging travel mode in the era of mobile internet, ride-hailing that connects passengers with private-car drivers via an online platform has been very popular all over the world. Although it attracts much attention in both…
By utilising vehicle capacity more efficiently, ride-pooling platforms can potentially lead to reduced congestion levels without adversely prolonging travel times. While previous studies concluded that shared rides can offer substantial…
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…
In this paper, we study a challenging problem of how to pool multiple ride-share trip requests in real time under an uncertain environment. The goals are better performance metrics of efficiency and acceptable satisfaction of riders. To…
The growth of ridehailing (RH) companies over the past few years has affected urban mobility in numerous ways. Despite widespread claims about the benefits of such services, limited research has been conducted on the topic. This paper…
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…
