Ride-pooling service assessment with rational, heterogeneous, non-deterministic travellers
Michal Bujak, Rafal Kucharski
Ride-pooling remains a promising emerging mode with a potential to contribute towards urban sustainability and emission reductions. Recent studies revealed complexity and diversity…
Can we start sharing our rides again? The postpandemic ride-pooling market
Olha Shulika, Rafał Kucharski
Before the pandemic ride-pooling was a promising emerging mode in urban mobility. It started reaching the critical mass with a growing number of service providers and the increasin…
Exploring Computational Complexity Of Ride-Pooling Problems
Usman Akhtar, Rafal Kucharski
Ride-pooling is computationally challenging. The number of feasible rides grows with the number of travelers and the degree (capacity of the vehicle to perform a pooled ride) and q…
Modelling the Rise and Fall of Two-Sided Mobility Markets with Microsimulation
Farnoud Ghasemi, Rafał Kucharski
In this paper, we propose a novel modelling framework to reproduce the market entry strategies for two-sided mobility platforms. In the MaaSSim agent-based simulator, we develop a…
Exploring shareability networks of probabilistic ride-pooling problems
Michal Bujak, Rafał Kucharski
Travellers sharing rides in ride-pooling systems form various kinds of networks. While the notions of the so-called shareability graphs, has been in the core of many ride-pooling a…
Hyper-pool: pooling private trips into high-occupancy transit-like attractive shared rides
Rafal Kucharski, Oded Cats
We propose Hyper-pool, an analytical, offline, utility-driven ride-pooling algorithm to aggregate individual trip requests into attractive shared rides of high-occupancy. We depart…
Evolution of Labour Supply in Ridesourcing
Arjan de Ruijter, Oded Cats, Rafal Kucharski +1
Contrary to traditional transit services, supply in ridesourcing systems emerges from individual labour decisions of gig workers. The effect of decentralisation in supply on the ev…
How to split the costs among travellers sharing a ride? Aligning system's optimum with users' equilibrium
Andres Fielbaum, Rafal Kucharski, Oded Cats +1
How to form groups in a mobility system that offers shared rides, and how to split the costs within the travellers of a group, are non-trivial tasks, as two objectives conflict: 1)…
Ride-pooling potential under alternative spatial demand patterns
Jaime Soza-Parra, Rafał Kucharski, Oded Cats
Shared rides are often considered to be a promising travel alternative that could efficiently pool people together while offering a door-to-door service. Notwithstanding, even thou…
Beyond the Dichotomy: How Ride-hailing Competes with and Complements Public Transport
Oded Cats, Rafał Kucharski, Santosh Rao Danda +1
Since ride-hailing has become an important travel alternative in many cities worldwide, a fervent debate is underway on whether it competes with or complements public transport ser…
Using city-bike stopovers to reveal spatial patterns of urban attractiveness
Krystian Banet, Rafal Kucharski, Vitalii Naumov
We demonstrate how digital traces of city-bike trips may become useful to identify urban space attractiveness. We exploit their unique feature - stopovers: short, non traffic-relat…
MaaSSim -- agent-based two-sided mobility platform simulator
Rafał Kucharski, Oded Cats
Two-sided mobility platforms, such as Uber and Lyft, widely emerged in the urban mobility landscape, bringing disruptive changes to transportation systems worldwide. This calls for…
Modelling virus spreading in ride-pooling networks
Rafał Kucharski, Oded Cats, Julian Sienkiewicz
Urban mobility needs alternative sustainable travel modes to keep our pandemic cities in motion. Ride-pooling, where a single vehicle is shared by more than one traveller, is not o…
