On-demand ridepooling systems offer flexible services pooling multiple passengers into one vehicle, complementing traditional bus services. We propose a transportation system combining the spatial aspects of a fixed sequence of bus stops…
On-demand ridepooling (ODRP) can become a powerful alternative to reduce congestion and emissions, if it attracts private car users. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the strategic phenomena that determine when ODRP systems can run…
Ride-sharing on the daily home-work-home commute can help individuals save on gasoline and other car-related costs, while at the same time it can reduce traffic and pollution. This paper assesses the potential of ride-sharing for reducing…
Probabilistic sampling methods have become very popular to solve single-shot path planning problems. Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs) in particular have been shown to be efficient in solving high dimensional problems. Even though…
Although shared rides have the potential to increase vehicle utilization and reduce congestion and emissions, these benefits depend heavily on ridesharing platforms' ability to match riders effectively. As such, shared rides have seen…
Peer-to-peer ride-sharing platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DiDi have revolutionized the transportation industry and labor market. At its essence, these systems tackle the bipartite matching problem between two populations: riders and drivers.…
Modular vehicles (MV) possess the ability to physically connect/disconnect with each other and travel in platoon with less energy consumption. A fleet of demand-responsive transit vehicles with such technology can serve passengers door to…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…
Traditional round-trip car rental systems mandate users to return vehicles to their point of origin, limiting the system adaptability to meet diverse mobility demands. This constraint often leads to fleet under-utilization and incurs high…
Ride-sharing is a modern urban-mobility paradigm with tremendous potential in reducing congestion and pollution. Demand-aware design is a promising avenue for addressing a critical challenge in ride-sharing systems, namely joint…
In carpooling systems, a set of drivers owning a private car can accept a small detour to pick-up and drop-off other riders. However, carpooling is widely used for long-distance trips, where rider-driver matching can be done days ahead.…
In this paper, we propose a novel, computational efficient, dynamic ridesharing algorithm. The beneficial computational properties of the algorithm arise from casting the ridesharing problem as a linear assignment problem between fleet…
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…
Accessibility measures how well a location is connected to surrounding opportunities. We focus on accessibility provided by Public Transit (PT). There is an evident inequality in the distribution of accessibility between city centers or…
The design of integrated mobility-on-demand services requires jointly considering the interactions between traveler choice behavior and operators' operation policies to design a financially sustainable pricing scheme. However, most existing…
In this study, we propose a three-stage framework for the planning and scheduling of high-capacity mobility-on-demand services (e.g., micro transit and flexible transit) at urban activity hubs. The proposed framework consists of (1) the…
Microtransit systems represent an enhancement to solve the first- and last-mile problem, integrating traditional rail and bus networks with on-demand shuttles into a flexible, integrated system. This type of demand responsive transport…
In autonomous mobility-on-demand systems, effectively managing vehicle flows to mitigate induced congestion and ensure efficient operations is imperative for system performance and positive customer experience. Against this background, we…
Motivated by the change in mobility patterns, we present a scheduling approach for a vehicle-sharing problem, considering several alternative modes of transport, from a company viewpoint with centralized planning. We consider…
In this study, we propose a novel heuristic two-step algorithm for shared ridehailing in which users can share their rides with only one more user. The algorithm, which is centrally formulated, starts with matching users and creating a set…
