Podium Session 8: On-Demand Meal Delivery: A Markov Model for Circulating Couriers

Title: On-Demand Meal Delivery: A Markov Model for Circulating Couriers
Authors: Michael G H Bell, Dat Tien Le, Jyotirmoyee Bhattacharjya, Glenn Geers
Abstract: On-demand meal delivery has become a feature of most cities around the world as a result of platforms and apps that facilitate it, as well as the pandemic, which for a period closed restaurants. Meals are delivered by couriers, typically on bikes, e-bikes or scooters, who circulate collecting meals from kitchens and delivering them to customers, wh...

Podium Session 8: Design an Intermediary Mobility-As-A-Service (MaaS) Platform Using Many-To-Many Stable Matching Framework

Title: Design an Intermediary Mobility-As-A-Service (MaaS) Platform Using Many-To-Many Stable Matching Framework
Authors: Rui Yao, Kenan Zhang
Abstract: Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) provides seamless door-to-door trips by integrating different transport modes. Although many MaaS platforms have emerged in recent years, most of them remain at a limited integration level. This study investigates the assignment and pricing problem for a MaaS platform as an intermediary in a multi-modal transportation n...

Podium Session 8: A Hierarchical Control Framework for Vehicle Repositioning in Ride-Hailing Systems

Title: A Hierarchical Control Framework for Vehicle Repositioning in Ride-Hailing Systems
Authors: Caio Vitor Beojone, Pengbo Zhu, Isik Ilber Sirmatelb, Nikolas Geroliminis
Abstract: This paper introduces a multi-layer control strategy for efficiently repositioning empty ride-hailing vehicles, aiming to bridge the gap between proactive repositioning strategies and micro-management. The proposed framework consists of three layers: an upper-layer employing an aggregated model based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and...
