Inequalities in Ride-Hailing Platforms
2020The business models of the emerging digital economy supposedly provide equal opportunities to all stakeholders in the market. Contrary to this, we argue in this chapter that structural inequalities exist in digital economy interactions. Using the case of ride-hailing platforms (RHPs) Uber and Ola in New Delhi, India, we show that the projected ...

A Generalized Fluid Model of Ride-Hailing Systems
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020This paper proposes a macroscopic fluid modeling framework to assist with strategic decision making of a platform for operating a large-scale on-demand app-based ride-hailing system. The framework captures the spatiotemporal characteristics of a ride-hailing system, and is flexible in representing control policies that a platform is implementing.

The Path to Green in Ride-Hailing
<p>Ride-hailing platforms are working toward achieving greener mobility. To this end, they are implementing policies that make driving zero tailpipe-emission electric vehicles (EVs) an economically attractive choice for ride-hailing drivers. In this study, we use optimization and robust queueing to show how ride-hailing platforms can effectively ...Soraya Fatehi, Dorothee Honhon

Shared-Ride Efficiency of Ride-Hailing Platforms
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021Problem definition: Ride-hailing platforms offering shared rides devote effort to reducing the trip-lengthening detours that accommodate fellow customers’ divergent transportation needs. By reducing shared-ride delay, improving shared-ride efficiency has the twin benefits of making shared rides more attractive to customers and increasing the number of ...

Preserving Location Privacy in Ride-Hailing Service
2018 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS), 2018Ride-hailing service has become part of our daily life due to its convenience and low cost. However, it also raises location privacy concerns for riders, because the service provider can observe the full mobility traces of riders while they hail rides. To address this problem, we first present a baseline privacy preserving solution.
