Short-term demand forecasting for on-demand ride-hailing services is one of the fundamental issues in intelligent transportation systems. However, previous travel demand forecasting research predominantly focused on improving prediction…
Matching in two-sided markets such as ride-hailing has recently received significant attention. However, existing studies on ride-hailing mainly focus on optimising efficiency, and fairness issues in ride-hailing have been neglected.…
Recommending routes by their probability of having a rider has long been the goal of conventional route recommendation systems. While this maximizes the platform-specific criteria of efficiency, it results in sub-optimal outcomes with the…
As Machine Learning grows in popularity across various fields, equity has become a key focus for the AI community. However, fairness-oriented approaches are still underexplored in smart mobility. Addressing this gap, our study investigates…
Ride-hailing systems often suffer from spatiotemporal supply-demand imbalances, largely due to the independent and uncoordinated actions of drivers. While existing fleet rebalancing methods offer repositioning recommendations to idle…
The problem of designing a rebalancing algorithm for a large-scale ridehailing system with asymmetric demand is considered here. We pose the rebalancing problem within a semi Markov decision problem (SMDP) framework with closed queues of…
The rapid expansion of ride-sourcing services such as Uber, Lyft, and Didi Chuxing has fundamentally reshaped urban transportation by offering flexible, on-demand mobility via mobile applications. Despite their convenience, these platforms…
In the growing field of Shared Micromobility Systems, which holds great potential for shaping urban transportation, fairness-oriented approaches remain largely unexplored. This work addresses such a gap by investigating the balance between…
Emerging transportation modes, including car-sharing, bike-sharing, and ride-hailing, are transforming urban mobility but have been shown to reinforce socioeconomic inequities. Spatiotemporal demand prediction models for these new mobility…
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…
State-of-the-art order dispatching algorithms for ridesharing batch passenger requests and allocate them to a fleet of vehicles in a centralized manner, optimizing over the estimated values of each passenger-vehicle matching using integer…
On-Demand Ride-Pooling services have the potential to increase traffic efficiency compared to private vehicle trips by decreasing parking space needed and increasing vehicle occupancy due to higher vehicle utilization and shared trips,…
Order dispatch systems play a vital role in ride-hailing services, which directly influence operator revenue, driver profit, and passenger experience. Most existing work focuses on improving system efficiency in terms of operator revenue,…
Despite the potential of online sharing economy platforms such as Uber, Lyft, or Foodora to democratize the labor market, these services are often accused of fostering unfair working conditions and low wages. These problems have been…
Rideshare and ride-pooling platforms use artificial intelligence-based matching algorithms to pair riders and drivers. However, these platforms can induce inequality either through an unequal income distribution or disparate treatment of…
Ride-hailing services have skyrocketed in popularity due to the convenience they offer, but recent research has shown that their pricing strategies can have a disparate impact on some riders, such as those living in disadvantaged…
Ride-hailing platforms (e.g., Uber, Lyft) have transformed urban mobility by enabling ride-sharing, which holds considerable promise for reducing both travel costs and total vehicle miles traveled (VMT). However, the fragmentation of these…
Shared mobility on demand (MoD) services are receiving increased attention as many high volume ride-hailing companies are offering shared services (e.g. UberPool, LyftLine) at an increasing rate. Also, the advent of autonomous vehicles…
Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for…
There is growing interest in algorithms that match passengers with drivers in ride-sharing problems and their fairness for the different parties involved (passengers, drivers, and ride-sharing companies). Researchers have proposed various…
