Sustainable Passenger Transportation: Dynamic Ride-sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ride-share systems, which aim to bring together travelers with similar itineraries and time schedules, may provide significant societal and environmental benefits by reducing the number of cars used for personal travel and improving the utilization of available seat capacity. Effective and efficient optimization technology that matches drivers and riders in real-time is one of the necessary components for a successful ride-share system. We formally define dynamic ridesharing and outline the optimization challenges that arise when developing technology to support ride-sharing. We hope that this paper will encourage more research by the transportation science and logistics community in this exciting, emerging area of public transportation.

Mechanisms for arranging ride sharing and fare splitting for last-mile travel demands
A great challenge of city planners is to provide efficient and effective connection service to travelers using public transportation system. This is commonly known as the last-mile problem and is critical in promoting the utilization of public transportation system. In this paper, we address the last-mile problem by considering a dynamic and demandresponsive mechanism for arranging ride sharing...
متن کاملImproving the Dynamic Performance of Passenger Cars via Rear Suspension Mechanism Modification
This paper presents the results of a recent project of IKCo’s research center to modify Paykan 1600’s rear suspension mechanism with the purpose of improving comfort, stability and handling qualities. The car was originally equipped with a solid rear axle with leaf springs. By replacing the original mechanism with a three-link mechanism with panhard bar and coil springs, the ride comfort and ha...
متن کاملRide Sharing: A Network Perspective
Ride sharing’s potential to improve traffic congestion as well as assist in reducing CO2 emission and fuel consumption was recently demonstrated by works such as [1]. Furthermore, it was shown that ride sharing can be implemented within a sound economic regime, providing values for all participants (e.g., Uber). Better understanding the utilization of ride sharing can help policy makers and urb...
متن کاملSolving the Ride-Sharing Problem with Non-Homogeneous Vehicles by Using an Improved Genetic Algorithm with Innovative Mutation Operators and Local Search Methods
An increase in the number of vehicles in cities leads to several problems, including air pollution, noise pollution, and congestion. To overcome these problems, we need to use new urban management methods, such as using intelligent transportation systems like ride-sharing systems. The purpose of this study is to create and implement an improved genetic algorithms model for ride-sharing with non...
متن کاملIntegrating stochastic time-dependent travel speed in solution methods for the dynamic dial-a-ride problem
In urban areas, logistic transportation operations often run into problems because travel speeds change, depending on the current traffic situation. If not accounted for, time-dependent and stochastic travel speeds frequently lead to missed time windows and thus poorer service. Especially in the case of passenger transportation, it often leads to excessive passenger ride times as well. Therefor...
