Abstract

Existing mobility-on-demand service has a major inefficiency for its operating policy design by disregarding the opportunity in cooperation with other transportation networks. In this work, a dynamic bi-/multi-modal vehicle dispatching and routing algorithm is proposed to address the real-time operating policy of ride-sharing (feeder) services in coordination with the presence of existing public transportation networks. We propose a solution algorithm based on the concept of shareability to group a bundle of requests and find optimal passengers-vehicles assignment with least cost to ensure seamless bi-/multi modal trips. The proposed method is tested on a realistic transportation network with stochastic demand. This study provides a useful tool for real-time mobility-on-demand service planning and design in a multimodal transportation network.
