New sources of economies and diseconomies of scale in on-demand ridepooling systems and comparison with public transport
Andres Fielbaum, Alejandro Tirachini, Javier Alonso-Mora
On-demand ridepooling (ODRP) can become a powerful alternative to reduce congestion and emissions, if it attracts private car users. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the strate…
Ride-Pooling Matching with a Compensatory Cost Function: Implications for Adoption, Efficiency and Level of Service
Arjan de Ruijter, Oded Cats, Javier Alonso-Mora +1
By utilising vehicle capacity more efficiently, ride-pooling platforms can potentially lead to reduced congestion levels without adversely prolonging travel times. While previous s…
Anticipatory routing methods for an on-demand ridepooling mobility system
Andres Fielbaum, Maximilian Kronmuller, Javier Alonso-Mora
One of the most relevant challenges regarding on-demand ridepooling relates to the spatial imbalances of the demand, which induce a mismatch between the position of the vehicles an…
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)…
The Impact of Ridesharing in Mobility-on-Demand Systems: Simulation Case Study in Prague
Davide Fiedler, Michal Čertický, Javier Alonso-Mora +1
In densely populated-cities, the use of private cars for personal transportation is unsustainable, due to high parking and road capacity requirements. The mobility-on-demand system…
