This paper presents a review of the different models developed for the taxicab problem. The
presented models are grouped in two categories, aggregated and equilibrium models. Each …

In this paper, we examine the hypothesis that bicycles can compete with cars in terms of
travel time in dense urban areas. We conduct a detailed investigation of the differences in …

The optimal routing of a vacant taxi is formulated as a Markov Decision Process (MDP)
problem to account for long-term profit over the full working period. The state is defined by …

This paper presents a new concept of urban shared‐taxi services. The proposed system has
a new organisational design and pricing scheme that aims to use the capacity in traditional …

Ridesourcing services have emerged as a popular alternative for commuters in metropolitan
areas. There is a significant spatio-temporal variation of demand and supply for such …

This paper proposes a cell-based model to predict local customer-search movements of
vacant taxi drivers, which incorporates the modeling principles of the logit-based search …

In this paper, a two-stage modeling approach is proposed to predict vacant taxi movements
in searching for customers. The taxi movement problem is formulated into a two-stage model …

This study adopts the sequential logit approach to modeling bi-level decisions of vacant taxi
drivers in customer-search. The first level decision is about whether the drivers will travel to …

Ridesourcing services such as Uber, Lyft, and DiDi are purported to be more efficient than
traditional taxis because they can match passengers with drivers more effectively. Previous …

In this paper, we seek to identify the different impacts of external and internal information on
taxis' cruising behaviors and to find effective methods to enhance taxis' cruising efficiency …
