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,…
Despite the promising benefits that ride-sharing offers, there has been a lack of research on the benefits of high-capacity ride-sharing services. Prior research has also overlooked the relationship between traffic volume and the degree of…
This paper examines the integration of freight delivery into the passenger transport of an on-demand ride-pooling service. The goal of this research is to use existing passenger trips for logistics services and thus reduce additional…
We study the feasibility of using electric vehicles in online, high-capacity ridepooling systems. Prior work has shown that online algorithms perform well for centrally-controlled, high-capacity ridepool systems. First, we propose a mixed…
Ride-pooling, also known as ride-sharing, shared ride-hailing, or microtransit, is a service wherein passengers share rides. This service can reduce costs for both passengers and operators and reduce congestion and environmental impacts. A…
Alternative routing is crucial to minimize the environmental impact of urban transportation while enhancing road network efficiency and reducing traffic congestion. Existing methods neglect information about road popularity, possibly…
Ride-hailing services enjoy a large popularity in the sector of individualized mobility. Due to broad availability, ease of use, and competitive pricing strategies, these services have established themselves throughout the last decades.…
With the increasing popularity of ride-hailing services, new modes of transportation are having a significant impact on the overall performance of transportation networks. As a result, there is a need to ensure that both the various…
Ride-pooling services, such as UberPool and Lyft Shared Saver, enable a single vehicle to serve multiple customers within one shared trip. Efficient path-planning algorithms are crucial for improving the performance of such systems. For…
For on-demand dynamic ride-pooling services, e.g., Uber Pool and Didi Pinche, a well-designed vehicle dispatching strategy is crucial for platform profitability and passenger experience. Most existing dispatching strategies overlook…
Ride-pooling is computationally challenging. The number of feasible rides grows with the number of travelers and the degree (capacity of the vehicle to perform a pooled ride) and quickly explodes to the sizes making the problem not solvable…
Taxi services are an integral part of urban transport and are a major contributor to air pollution and traffic congestion, which adversely affect human life and health. Sharing taxi rides is one way to reduce the unfavorable effects of cab…
If private vehicle trips can be replaced, ride-pooling services can decrease parking space needed by higher vehicle utilization and increase traffic efficiency by increasing vehicle occupancy. Nevertheless, substantial benefits can only be…
We propose Hyper-pool, an analytical, offline, utility-driven ride-pooling algorithm to aggregate individual trip requests into attractive shared rides of high-occupancy. We depart from our ride-pooling ExMAS algorithm where single rides…
In ride-pooling, a fleet of vehicles is dynamically dispatched to bring travelers from A to B, trying to pool riders with similar itineraries to improve the use of resources compared to taxis or private cars. Ride-pooling is considered a…
In a ride-pooling system, travellers experience discomfort associated with a detour and a longer travel time, which is compensated with a sharing discount. Most studies assume travellers receive either a flat discount or, in rare cases, a…
Ride-pooling has become an important service option offered by ride-hailing platforms as it serves multiple trip requests in a single ride. By leveraging customer data, connected vehicles, and efficient assignment algorithms, ride-pooling…
Ride-sharing or vehicle-pooling allows commuters to team up spontaneously for transportation cost sharing. This has become a popular trend in the emerging paradigm of sharing economy. One crucial component to support effective ride-sharing…
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…
This study presents a multi-zone queuing network model for steady-state ride-pooling operations that serve heterogeneous demand, and then builds upon this model to optimize the design of ride-pooling services. Spatial heterogeneity is…
