ride-hailing

This research report analyzes the sustainable transportation implication of on-demand ride services.

Researchers developed a framework to identify the range of possible travel effects, both positive and negative, on users of ride-hailing services.

UC Davis researchers examined how ride-hailing affects the total amount of driving (measured in vehicle miles traveled, VMT) as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Researchers at the University of California, Davis surveyed California residents about their personal attitudes and preferences, lifestyles, travel patterns, vehicle ownership, adoption and use of new mobility services, and personal and household characteristics, and this brief summarizes the results of multiple studies that have used this dataset to generate insights into the impact of ridehailing services on the use of other travel modes and on car ownership prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This policy brief summarizes findings from research to develop a framework for considering the monetary and non-monetary costs of future travel choices.

This research project proposes three different solution approaches for solving the ride share routing problem with flexible pickup and drop-off points. Results show that the approaches are efficient, solving instances with up to 300 nodes within 130 CPU seconds. The methodologies in this study can help transportation planners design more efficient rideshare systems with less waiting, better passenger service, and less travel time.
