Ridesourcing Behavior Analysis and Prediction: A Network Perspective

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2022
This paper investigates the spatiotemporal characteristics and predictability of the emerging modern traffic behavior, ridesourcing. We collect a comprehensive data set of Didi ridesourcing cars on a large geographical scale of a capital city in China, including both the temporal order information and the GPS-recorded spatial trajectories.

Real-Time Driver-Request Assignment in Ridesourcing

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022
Online on-demand ridesourcing service has played a huge role in transforming urban transportation. A central function in most on-demand ridesourcing platforms is to dynamically assign drivers to rider requests that could balance the request waiting times and the driver pick-up distances.

Regulating Ridesourcing Services With Product Differentiation and Congestion Externality

open access: yesTransportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2021
Abstract This paper proposes a model of the ridesourcing market in presence of traffic congestion and with the provision of both solo and pooling services. Our analysis of the first-best solution shows that, under a highly congested scenario, the ridesourcing platform may enjoy non-negative profits.

Emerging Dynamics in Ridesourcing Markets

2022
The practice of outsourcing labour and vehicle capacity to independent freelancers in ride-hailing is known as ridesourcing. We present a conceptual representation of the interaction between supply and demand in the ridesourcing market to understand why these markets may be prone to evolve towards particular - potentially socially undesirable ...

What is the elasticity of sharing a ridesourcing trip?

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2021
Abstract Transportation network companies (TNCs) offer a ride-splitting option for ridesourcing trips, allowing users to share the vehicle with others at a lower fare. While encouraging shared rides has environmental benefits, little is known about how price affects the decision to share.

Nonlinear Effects of the Built Environment on Metro-Integrated Ridesourcing Usage

open access: yesTransportation Research, Part D: Transport and Environment, 2022
Although ridesourcing has served as an emerging feeder mode to the metro system to solve the first/last-mile issue, research on metro-integrated ridesourcing usage is rather limited.
