Assigning orders to drivers under localized spatiotemporal context (micro-view order-dispatching) is a major task in Didi, as it influences ride-hailing service experience. Existing industrial solutions mainly follow a two-stage pattern that incorporate ...

The likely large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology in the near future has the potential to fundamentally change the transportation landscape. Due to the high cost of AV hardware, the most likely path to widespread AV use is via ...

Problem 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 ...

In recent years, ride-hailing services have emerged as a popular means of transportation for the residents of urban areas. There is an inequality in the spatio-temporal distribution of demand and supply, which requires the proper recommendation of routes ...

Problem definition: Motivated by ride-hailing platforms such as Uber, Lyft and Didi, we study the problem of matching riders with self-interested drivers over a spatial network. We focus on the performance impact of two operational platform controls—...

In the ride-hailing business, compensation is mostly used to motivate consumers to place more orders and grow the market scale. However, most of the previous studies focus on car-hailing services. Few works investigate localized smart transportation ...

Problem definition: Early research has documented significant growth in ride-hailing services worldwide and allied benefits. However, growing evidence of their negative externalities is leading to significant policy scrutiny. Despite demonstrated ...

App-based ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, have become popular thanks to technology advancements including smartphones and 4G/5G network. However, little is known about to what degree their operations impact urban traffic since ...

The ride-hailing service offered by mobility-on-demand platforms, such as Uber and Didi Chuxing, has greatly facilitated people's traveling and commuting, and become increasingly popular in recent years. Efficiency (e.g., gross merchandise volume) has ...

Despite their promise, popularity, and rapid growth, the transit implications of ride-hailing platforms (e.g., Uber, Lyft) are not altogether clear. On the one hand, ride-hailing services can provide pooling (i.e., traffic reductions) advantages by ...

With the soaring popularity of ride-hailing, the interdependence between transit ridership, ride-hailing ridership, and urban congestion motivates the following question: can public transit and ride-hailing coexist and thrive in a way that enhances the ...

We consider the problem of an operator controlling a fleet of electric vehicles for use in a ride-hailing service. The operator, seeking to maximize profit, must assign vehicles to requests as they arise as well as recharge and reposition vehicles in ...

We study the relationship between capacity and performance for a service firm with spatial operations, in the sense that requests arrive with origin-destination pairs. An example of such a system is a ride-hailing platform in which each customer arrives ...

On-demand ride-pooling systems have gained a lot of attraction in the past years as they promise to reduce traffic and vehicle fleets compared to private vehicles. Transport simulations show that automation of vehicles and resulting fare ...

Social media creates digital communication channels to interact with customers and needed attention to the broadening understanding of marketing. This study aims to examine the social media marketing of ride-hailing during the covid-19 pandemic. ...

We build a model to study the implications of utilization-based minimum earning regulations of the kind recently enacted by New York City for its ride-hailing providers. We identify the precise conditions under which a utilization-based minimum earnings ...

With the quick development of the sharing economy, ride-hailing services have been increasingly popular worldwide. Although the service provides convenience for users, one concern from the public is whether the location privacy of passengers would ...

Practice or Policy Abstract

Over the past 10 years, app-enabled ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft have permeated several geographies, fundamentally changing the transit landscape. Ride-hailing services deliver an on-demand, door-to-door transport service that has the ...

We examine the impact that ride-hailing services have had on the demand for different modes of public transit in the United States, with a particular focus on understanding heterogeneity in the effects. We assess these effects using a panel data set that ...

How to optimally dispatch orders to vehicles and how to trade off between immediate and future returns are fundamental questions for a typical ride-hailing platform. We model ride-hailing as a large-scale parallel ranking problem and study the joint ...

Improving the efficiency of dispatching orders to vehicles is a research hotspot in online ride-hailing systems. Most of the existing solutions for order-dispatching are centralized controlling, which require to consider all possible matches between ...
