Who and where rideshares? Rideshare travel and use in Los Angeles

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2020
Abstract Carpooling rates in America have been falling for decades. But new technologies may offer solutions to traditional carpooling barriers and usher in a new chapter in shared car travel. Ride-hail services connect riders to drivers through smartphone applications.

Ridesharing Programs

Environment and Behavior, 1981
Since the 1974 fuel crisis, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S.D.O.T.) has sponsored numerous community based ridesharing (carpooling and vanpooling) programs. The objective here is to: (1) summarize past research designed to identify variables which explain why some ridesharing members remain in their ridesharing groups while others drop out, (

Ridesharing-Inspired Trip Recommendations

2018 19th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM), 2018
The objective of this paper is to determine how ridesharing can help lowering the travel cost of a user who already has a preplanned trip. This problem is formulated as the Ridesharing-Inspired Trip Recommendation Query (RSTR). In the first phase of the proposed method, the trip of the query initializer is matched with other users. In the second phase,

Ridesharing in all its forms !

2020
Si la pratique du covoiturage a fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches, et que les profils des covoitureurs ont déjà été décrits (Barthes, 2009; Gheorghiu & Delhomme, 2018; Vincent, 2008), aucune étude à notre connaissance n’a croisé ces profils aux formes de covoiturage pratiquées.Dès lors, notre communication vise à dresser et comparer les profils des

An Efficient Dynamic Ridesharing Algorithm

2017 IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT), 2017
In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm for ridesharing. It efficiently serves real-time requests sent by passengers and generates ride sharing schedules that try to meet users' demands. In our method, we first propose a taxi searching algorithm using binary search strategy to quickly and efficiently retrieve candidate taxis that are likely to

Dynamic pricing in ridesharing platforms

ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2016
We study dynamic pricing policies for ridesharing platforms such as Lyft and Uber. On one hand these platforms are two-sided: this requires economic models that capture the incentives of both drivers and passengers. On the other hand, these platforms support high temporal-resolution for data collection and pricing: this requires stochastic models that ...

Fairness versus Optimality in Ridesharing

2017 18th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM), 2017
As a spatio-temporal data-management problem, taxi ridesharing has received a lot of attention recently in the database literature. The broader scientific community, and the commercial world have also addressed the issue through services such as UberPool and Lyftline. The issues addressed have been efficient matching of passengers and taxis, fares, and

RideShare: trustworthy ridesharing evidences for a rewarding system

2020
A lot of people use their private cars to go to their destination, but the use of private cars could be reduced if people would share the ride with others. If people would share the ride with others who use their private car, the number of cars circulating could diminish.

PrivatePool: Privacy-Preserving Ridesharing

2017 IEEE 30th Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF), 2017
Location-based services have seen tremendous developments over the recent years. These services have revolutionized transportation business, as witnessed by the success of Uber, Lyft, BlaBlaCar, and the like. Yet from the privacy point of view, the state of the art leaves much to be desired. The location of the user is typically shared with the service,

Routing for ridesharing

2016
In this research, we study two ridesharing routing problems: a pickup and delivery problem for ridesharing considering load dependent cost and a pickup and delivery problem for ridesharing with transfers. In both cases, we present a mixed integer programming problem formulation to derive optimal solutions and an efficient heuristic based on insertion ...
