Dynamic Intercity Ride‐Sharing Optimisation Based on Two‐Stage Information Feedback

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
The article introduces a novel two‐stage scheduling approach for intercity dynamic ridesharing that separates the process into a coarse scheduling phase (with online and offline vehicle matching) and a fine scheduling phase that refines the solution using a large neighbourhood search algorithm. By integrating deep Q‐learning to dynamically trigger fine

Pricing and Scheduling for Hybrid Demand Responsive Transit System With Mixed Services and Passenger Preference

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper studies the coordinated scheduling and management for hybrid DRT systems offering both direct door‐to‐door rides and feeder connections to mass transit, incorporating passenger mode choice behaviour to account for heterogeneous passenger preferences in a multimodal environment.

Participation Disenchants: How Online Political Participation Decreases Online Political Efficacy in China

Regulation &Governance, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 35-63, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Existing literature largely agrees that authoritarian regimes establish channels for political participation to gather valuable information on citizens' anti‐regime sentiments and policy preferences and to supervise lower‐level bureaucrats and firms.

Improved Approximations for Dial-a-Ride Problems

CoRR
The multi-vehicle dial-a-ride problem (mDaRP) is a fundamental vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries, widely applicable in ride-sharing, economics, and transportation. Given a set of $n$ locations, $h$ vehicles of identical capacity $λ$ located at various depots, and $m$ ride requests each defined by a source and a destination, the goal ...

Optimal Linear Protection Scheme of Inverter‐Based Distributed Energy Resources: Meeting Fault‐Ride‐Through Requirement

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents a new two‐stage protection strategy for active distribution networks that not only addresses selectivity constraints along protected lines but also incorporates fault‐ride‐through (FRT) requirements of inverter‐based distributed energy resources (IBDERs). The proposed coordination strategy (PCS), which distinguishes it from previous

Social beneficence

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 773-795, November 2025.
Abstract A background assumption in much contemporary political philosophy is that justice is the first virtue of social institutions, taking priority over other values such as beneficence. This assumption is typically treated as a methodological starting point, rather than as following from any particular moral or political theory.

The electric autonomous dial-a-ride problem

, 2020
This thesis develops mathematical programming frameworks to operate electric autonomous vehicles in the context of ride-sharing services. The introduced problem is a novel variant of the Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP), denoted by the electric Autonomous Dial-a-Ride Problem (e-ADARP), and includes battery management and autonomous aspects along with classic
