mobility (shared)

The research report explored the use of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and meeting points in a ride-sharing system where drivers have their own origin and destination.

Researchers examined the possibility of ride-sharing being able to mitigate traffic congestion by developing a two-stage algorithm to solve the routing problem with ride-share in real-time within a context where ride-sharing drivers are traveling toward their own destinations while making detours to serve passengers with flexible pickup and drop-off locations.

This project evaluates the potential for electrifying transportation network companies (such as Uber and Lyft).

High-resolution data from Uber and Lyft in California are used to provide insights into the use of electric vehicles in ride-hailing.

This study helps understand how the anticipated emergence of autonomous vehicles will affect various aspects of society and transportation, including travel demand, vehicle miles traveled, energy consumption, and emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
