In this paper, we propose a novel, computational efficient, dynamic ridesharing algorithm.
The beneficial computational properties of the algorithm arise from casting the ridesharing …

Taxi ridesharing can be of significant social and environmental benefit, eg by saving energy
consumption and satisfying people's commute needs. Despite the great potential, taxi …

Previous work on assigning tasks to robots has proposed extensive categorizations of
allocation of tasks with and without constraints. The main contribution of this paper is a …

Abstract The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) consists of designing vehicle routes and
schedules for n users who specify pickup and delivery requests between origins and …

This paper is the first part of a comprehensive survey on pickup and delivery problems.
Basically, two problem classes can be distinguished. The first class, discussed in this paper …

The mean occupancy rates of personal vehicle trips in the United States is only 1.6 persons
per vehicle mile. Urban traffic gridlock is a familiar scene. Ridesharing has the potential to …

Over the past two decades, equity aspects have been considered in a growing number of
models and methods for vehicle routing problems (VRPs). Equity concerns most often relate …

With the prevalence of car-hailing applications, ridesharing becomes more and more
popular because of its great potential in monetary saving and environmental protection …

In this paper we study a realistic dial-a-ride problem which simultaneously considers
multiple trips, heterogeneous vehicles, multiple request types, configurable vehicle capacity …

We propose a double request dial-a-ride model with soft time windows and its application to
the CAB Health and Recovery Services, Inc., a non-profit organization in the Boston …
