Profit Optimization in Commercial Ridesharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ridesharing is undoubtedly appealing from a sustainability perspective; however, profit optimization is very important for commercial providers. As such, ridesharing offers a valuable opportunity to garner profit by reducing the number of driver-miles that need to be paid for in order to serve the same set of passengers. In this paper, we study profit optimization for commercial ridesharing service providers such as UberPool and LyftLine.

Impact of Detour-Aware Policies on Maximizing Profit in Ridesharing
This paper provides efficient solutions to maximize profit for commercial ridesharing services, under a pricing model with detour-based discounts for passengers. We propose greedy heuristics for real-time ride matching that offer different trade-offs between optimality and speed. Simulations on New York City (NYC) taxi trip data show that our heuristics are up to 90% optimal and 10 times faster...
متن کاملRidesharing in Muscat: Can it be a Sustainable Solution for the Traffic Congestion?
We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...
متن کاملEvolutionary Multiobjective Route Planning in Dynamic Multi-hop Ridesharing
Ridesharing is considered as one of the promising solutions for dropping the consumption of fuel and reducing the congestion in urban cities, hence reducing the environmental pollution. Route planning is a key component for the success of ridesharing systems in which multiple objectives can be optimized. The multiobjective route planning problem in multi-hop ridesharing is categorized as NP–com...
متن کاملDynamic Optimization Models for Ridesharing and Carsharing
Collaborative consumption is the culture of sharing instead of ownership in consumer behaviours. Transportation services such as ridesharing, carsharing, and bikesharing have recently adopted collaborative business models. Such services require real-time management of the available fleets to increase revenues and reduce costs. This thesis proposes two dynamic models for real-time management of ...
