In ride-sharing, commuters with similar itineraries share a vehicle for their trip. Despite its clear benefits in terms of reduced congestion, ride-sharing is not yet widely accepted. We propose a specific ride-sharing variant, where drivers are completely ...
Complex interactions can be observed in hybrid transportation systems, where cars share the same road space with other modes such as motorcycles, bicycles or even e-scooters. In this work we further built upon the concept of mode dependent lane discipline. ...
Vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) allow users to rent vehicles for a short period of time, in a more flexible and convenient manner compared to the traditional vehicle rental services. The long-term VSS subscription replaces the need for contract signing for ...
We study a transportation network company (TNC) that offers on-demand solo and pooling e-hail services in an aggregate mobility service market, while competing with transit for passengers. The market equilibrium is established based on a spatial driver–pas ...
This thesis introduces new operational management policies for two types of on-demand shared mobility systems, the now well-studied one-way carsharing systems and a new innovative semi-autonomous last-mile transportation system. In addition, two associated ...
The surge of Mobility on Demand (MoD) is largely attributed to advancements in mobile internet and technology. Ridesourcing platforms, among other solution services, offer convenience and flexibility when it comes to pick-up/drop-off time and location, all ...

Car sharing systems (CSSs) are one of the environmentally beneficial solutions in urban transportation. However, the operators still struggle to make these systems profitable. One of the main contributors in operational cost is rebalancing operations. Ther ...
This work studies the role of proactive and targeted ride-splitting incentives on the service level and total revenue of a ride-sourcing platform, which is built as a discrete event simulator that incorporates simulated taxi data within a congestible road ...
