2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM), 2019
Ridesharing has been becoming increasingly popular in urban areas worldwide for its low cost and environmental friendliness. There has been much attention on the optimization of costs/detour in shared rides. However, other important factors, such as social comfort and trust issues, have not been fully explored in the existing work in ridesharing.

Reinforcement Learning for Ridesharing: A Survey
2021 IEEE International Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC), 2021In this paper, we present a comprehensive, in-depth survey of the literature on reinforcement learning approaches to ridesharing problems. Papers on the topics of rideshare matching, vehicle repositioning, ride-pooling, and dynamic pricing are covered. Popular data sets and open simulation environments are also introduced.

Cap-and-trade scheme for ridesharing
2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2020We present a cap-and-trade scheme for the regulation of ridesharing. As opposed to marginal-pricing schemes, cap-and-trade schemes limit the quantity of transportation. Recognizing that a central authority may not be able to adequately regulate quantity, we let the quantity be determined according to demand for ridesharing. We use demand to compute the

Ridesharing Systems with Electric Vehicles
2019 American Control Conference (ACC), 2019Ridesharing systems are encouraging drivers in their fleets to adopt electric vehicles and may therefore be able to provide not only transportation services to passengers but also energy services to power grid operators through appropriate contracts. This paper develops a queuing network model of such ridesharing platforms where drivers may decide, at ...

Profit Optimization in Commercial Ridesharing
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2017Ridesharing is undoubtedly appealing from a sustainability perspective; however, profit optimization is very important for commercial providers. As such, ridesharing offers a valuable opportunity to garner profit by reducing the number of driver-miles that need to be paid for in order to serve the same set of passengers.

A theory of multihoming in rideshare competition
Journal of Economics & Management Strategy, 2018AbstractWe examine competition among ridesharing platforms, where firms compete on both price and the wait time induced with idled drivers. We show that when consumers are the only agents who multihome, idleness is lower in duopoly than when consumers face a monopoly ridesharing platform.

The ambivalence of ridesharing
Transportation, 2006Ridesharing is quite a popular topic of discussion among transport authority personnel. It is perceived to be a viable alternative to classical modes of transportation, and receives a great deal of political support from transport planners. However, not much objective information is available on ridesharing behaviors. We use travel survey data to study

Throughput and Pricing of Ridesharing Systems
IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications, 2019We introduce a queueing model for passengers waiting to get transport by drivers participating in a ridesharing system. The effect of available drivers’ mobility pattern, their willingness to accept rides in a given location, and the incentives offered by the platform, on system throughput is considered.

Towards ridesharing with passenger transfers
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2013Ridesharing services have the potential to fill empty seats in cars, reduce emissions and enable more efficient transportation. We propose rideshare services which transfer passengers between multiple drivers. By planning for transfers, we increase the availability and range of the rideshare service, and reduce the total vehicular miles travelled by ...
