Motivated by ride-sharing platforms' efforts to reduce their riders' wait times for a vehicle, this paper introduces a novel problem of placing vehicles to fulfill real-time pickup requests in a spatially and temporally changing…
Transportation service providers that dispatch drivers and vehicles to riders start to support both on-demand ride requests posted in real time and rides scheduled in advance, leading to new challenges which, to the best of our knowledge,…
Ride-hailing is a sustainable transportation paradigm where riders access door-to-door traveling services through a mobile phone application, which has attracted a colossal amount of usage. There are two major planning tasks in a…
We propose a ridesharing strategy with integrated transit in which a private on-demand mobility service operator may drop off a passenger directly door-to-door, commit to dropping them at a transit station or picking up from a transit…
Traditional taxi systems in metropolitan areas often suffer from inefficiencies due to uncoordinated actions as system capacity and customer demand change. With the pervasive deployment of networked sensors in modern vehicles, large amounts…
The on-demand ride-hailing industry has experienced rapid growth, transforming transportation norms worldwide. Despite improvements in efficiency over traditional taxi services, significant challenges remain, including drivers' strategic…
In recent years, ridesharing platforms have become a prominent mode of transportation for the residents of urban areas. As a fundamental problem, route recommendation for these platforms is vital for their sustenance. The works done in this…
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…
With the rising demand of smart mobility, ride-hailing service is getting popular in the urban regions. These services maintain a system for serving the incoming trip requests by dispatching available vehicles to the pickup points. As the…
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…
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…
Ride-sharing may substantially contribute to future-compliant sustainable mobility, both in urban and rural areas. The service quality of ride-sharing fleets jointly depends on the topology of the underlying street networks, the…
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…
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…
Shared rides are often considered to be a promising travel alternative that could efficiently pool people together while offering a door-to-door service. Notwithstanding, even though demand distribution patterns are expected to greatly…
Shared mobility redefines urban transportation, offering economic and environmental benefits by reducing pollution and urban congestion. However, in the post-pandemic era, the shared mobility sector is grappling with a crisis of trust,…
Stream media content caching is a key enabling technology to promote the value chain of future urban vehicular networks. Nevertheless, the high mobility of vehicles, intermittency of information transmissions, high dynamics of user…
This paper presents a framework to incorporate ride-pooling from a mesoscopic point of view, within time-invariant network flow models of Mobility-on-Demand systems. The resulting problem structure remains identical to a standard network…
Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…
Time-sensitive parcel deliveries, shipments requested for delivery in a day or less, are an increasingly important research subject. It is challenging to deal with these deliveries from a carrier perspective since it entails additional…
