Pervasive and mobile sensing is an integral part of smart transport and smart city applications. Vehicle-based mobile sensing, or drive-by sensing (DS), is gaining popularity in both academic research and field practice. The DS paradigm has…

Vehicle-based mobile sensing (a.k.a drive-by sensing) is an important means of surveying urban environment by leveraging the mobility of public or private transport vehicles. Buses, for their extensive spatial coverage and reliable…

Drive-by sensing (i.e. vehicle-based mobile sensing) is an emerging data collection paradigm that leverages vehicle mobilities to scan a city at low costs. It represents a positive social externality of urban transport activities. Bus…

The popularity of on-demand ride pooling is owing to the benefits offered to customers (lower prices), taxi drivers (higher revenue), environment (lower carbon footprint due to fewer vehicles) and aggregation companies like Uber (higher…

This paper evaluates the benefit of integrating vehicle-based mobile crowd-sensing tasks into the ride-hailing system through the collaboration between the data user and the ride-hailing platform. In such a system, the ride-hailing platform…

Vehicle-based mobile sensing, also known as drive-by sensing, efficiently surveys urban environments at low costs by leveraging the mobility of urban vehicles. While recent studies have focused on drive-by sensing for fleets of a single…

Drive-by sensing is gaining popularity as an inexpensive way to perform fine-grained, city-scale, spatiotemporal monitoring of physical phenomena. Prior work explores several challenges in the design of low-cost sensors, the reliability of…

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…

Sensors can measure air quality, traffic congestion, and other aspects of urban environments. The fine-grained diagnostic information they provide could help urban managers to monitor a city's health. Recently, a `drive-by' paradigm has…

Urban sensing is essential for the development of smart cities, enabling monitoring, computing, and decision-making for urban management.Thanks to the advent of vehicle technologies, modern vehicles are transforming from solely mobility…

We study a new random search process: the \textit{taxi-drive}. The motivation for this process comes from urban sensing, in which sensors are mounted on moving vehicles such as taxis, allowing urban environments to be opportunistically…

This paper is devoted to proposing a data-driven approach for electrifying the urban taxi fleet. Specifically, based on the gathered real-time vehicle trajectory data of 39053 taxis in Beijing, we conduct time-series simulations to derive…

Vehicular mobile crowd sensing is a fast-emerging paradigm to collect data about the environment by mounting sensors on vehicles such as taxis. An important problem in vehicular crowd sensing is to design payment mechanisms to incentivize…

Significant development of ride-sharing services presents a plethora of opportunities to transform urban mobility by providing personalized and convenient transportation while ensuring efficiency of large-scale ride pooling. However, a core…

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…

The advances in information and communication technology are changing theway people move. Companies that offer demand-responsive transportation serviceshave the opportunity to reduce their costs and increase their revenues…

Passenger rejection by taxi drivers impacts the travel behaviour in many cities and suburban areas, often leaving those potential customers in non-popular zones stranded without access to taxis. To overcome this problem, many practices have…

With recent developments in vehicle and battery technologies, electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly getting established as a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil-fuel vehicles. This has made the large-scale electrification of…

The rise of e-hailing taxis has significantly altered urban transportation and resulted in a competitive taxi market with both traditional street-hailing and e-hailing taxis. The new mobility services provide similar door-to-door rides as…

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…
