The rapid growth of the ride-hailing industry has revolutionized urban transportation worldwide. Despite its benefits, equity concerns arise as underserved communities face limited accessibility to affordable ride-hailing services. A key…
On-demand trip sharing is an efficient solution to mitigate the negative impact e-hailing has on congestion. It motivates platform operators to reduce their fleet size, and serves the same demand level with a lower effective distance…
The increasing rate of urbanization has added pressure on the already constrained transportation networks in our communities. Ride-sharing platforms such as Uber and Lyft are becoming a more commonplace, particularly in urban environments.…
While multimodal mobility systems have the potential to bring many benefits to travelers, drivers, the environment, and traffic congestion, such systems typically involve multiple non-cooperative decision-makers who may selfishly optimize…
The witnessed boom in mobility results in many problems such as urbanization, costly construction of many highways and air pollution. In an attempt to address these problems, in this master, we are interested in the implementation of a…
Large-scale ride-hailing systems often combine real-time routing at the individual request level with a macroscopic Model Predictive Control (MPC) optimization for dynamic pricing and vehicle relocation. The MPC relies on a demand forecast…
In this paper, we study the challenging problem of how to balance taxi distribution across a city in a dynamic ridesharing service. First, we introduce the architecture of the dynamic ridesharing system and formally define the performance…
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,…
Shared micromobility (e.g., shared bikes and electric scooters), as a kind of emerging urban transportation, has become more and more popular in the world. However, the blooming of shared micromobility vehicles brings some social problems…
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…
Many vehicles spend a significant amount of time in urban traffic congestion. Due to the evolution of autonomous cars, driver assistance systems, and in-vehicle entertainment, many vehicles have plentiful computational and communication…
Ride-pooling remains a promising emerging mode with a potential to contribute towards urban sustainability and emission reductions. Recent studies revealed complexity and diversity among travellers' ride-pooling aptitudes. So far,…
Air quality and human exposure to mobile source pollutants have become major concerns in urban transportation. Existing studies mainly focus on mitigating traffic congestion and reducing carbon footprints, with limited understanding of…
We develop a Markovian traffic equilibrium model for ride-hailing in which vehicles, whether empty or hired, make sequential order-acceptance and link-choice decisions over a traffic network to maximize total discounted return in an…
This paper provides a unified framework for the problem of controlling a fleet of ride-hailing vehicles under stochastic demand. We introduce a sequential decision-making model that consolidates several problem characteristics and can be…
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…
Micro-mobility ride-sharing is an emerging technology that provides access to the transit system with minimum environmental impacts. Significant research is required to ensure that micro-mobility ride-sharing provides a better fulfilment of…
Accurate forecasting of bus ridership (passengers numbers) is crucial for efficient management and optimization of public transport systems. Traditional forecasting models often fail to capture the unique and localized dynamics of different…
While dynamic ridesharing has been extensively studied, there remains a significant research gap in exploring role flexibility within the many-to-many ridesharing scheme, where the system allows for several pickups for drivers and multiple…
The rapid expansion of ride-hailing services has significantly reshaped urban on-demand mobility patterns, but it still remains unclear how they perform relative to traditional street-hailing services and how effective are related policy…
