The cost of convenience: Ridehailing and traffic fatalities

JM Barrios, YV Hochberg, H Yi - Journal of Operations …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We examine the effect of the introduction of ridehailing in US cities on fatal traffic accidents.
The arrival of ridehailing is associated with an approximately 3% increase in the number of …

Edge weighted online windowed matching

I Ashlagi, M Burq, C Dutta, P Jaillet, A Saberi… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Motivated by applications from ride-sharing and kidney exchange, we study the problem of
matching agents who arrive at a marketplace over time and leave after d time periods …

Dynamic pricing of relocating resources in large networks

SR Balseiro, DB Brown, C Chen - ACM SIGMETRICS Performance …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We study dynamic pricing of resources that are distributed over a network of locations (eg,
shared vehicle systems and logistics networks). Customers with private willingness-to-pay …

Spatial capacity planning

O Besbes, F Castro, I Lobel - Operations Research, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study the relationship between capacity and performance for a service firm with spatial
operations, in the sense that requests arrive with origin-destination pairs. An example of …

Randomized FIFO mechanisms

F Castro, H Ma, H Nazerzadeh, C Yan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.10706, 2021 - arxiv.org
We study the matching of jobs to workers in a queue, eg a ridesharing platform dispatching
drivers to pick up riders at an airport. Under FIFO dispatching, the heterogeneity in trip …

On the optimal design of a bipartite matching queueing system

P Afeche, R Caldentey, V Gupta - Operations Research, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a multiclass multiserver queueing system and study the problem of designing
an optimal matching topology (or service compatibility structure) between customer classes …

Maximum weight online matching with deadlines

I Ashlagi, M Burq, C Dutta, P Jaillet, A Saberi… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of matching agents who arrive at a marketplace over time and leave
after d time periods. Agents can only be matched while they are present in the marketplace …

Dynamic pricing and matching for two-sided queues

SM Varma, P Bumpensanti, ST Maguluri… - Operations …, 2023 - pubsonline.informs.org
Motivated by applications from gig economy and online marketplaces, we study a two-sided
queueing system under joint pricing and matching controls. The queueing system is …

[PDF][PDF] State dependent control of closed queueing networks with application to ride-hailing

S Banerjee, Y Kanoria, P Qian - arXiv preprint arXiv:1803.04959, 2018 - columbia.edu
Inspired by ride-hailing and bike-sharing systems, we study the design of state-dependent
controls for a closed queueing network model. We focus on the assignment policy, where …

Real-time approximate routing for smart transit systems
