Abstract
On-demand ride-sourcing services (e.g., Uber, DiDi) receive praises from consumers and investors. This presentation focuses on the ride-sourcing system optimization modeling and behavioral analysis for smart cities. Under governmental regulation of ride-sourcing platforms, pricing and subsidies on passengers and drivers have become an effective incentive to coordinate supply and demand. A multi-stage game-theoretic model is formulated to reveal the coupling game among heterogeneous passengers, heterogeneous drivers, and the ride-sourcing platform in the on-demand ride services market regulated by the government. Ride-sourcing platforms offer incentive subsidies and set pricing strategies to ensure stable supply capacity for on-demand ride services. Understanding the causal effects is a prerequisite for deploying related activities, as well as the heterogeneous and stochastic responses to subsidy and pricing. Data-driven agent-based modeling and simulation for large-scale transportation networks are implemented to investigate how regulatory policies impact the ride-sourcing market, which goes beyond existing approaches by employing data-driven multi-objective deep learning to train ride-sourcing drivers' offline/online behavior. Those research initiatives of the presenter’s research team have the potential to help decision-makers and ride-sourcing platforms to optimize regulatory policies and operations management strategies in the era of shared mobility.
