On-demand systems in which passengers with similar routes can share a vehicle are
expected to become a relevant part of future mobility, thanks to their flexibility and their …

Abstract Purpose of Review The era of robotics-based environmental monitoring has given
rise to many interesting areas of research. A key challenge is that robotic platforms and their …

We analyse the sources of economies and diseconomies of scale in On-Demand
Ridepooling (ODRP), disentangling three effects: when demand grows, average costs are …

The premise of ride-sharing is that service providers can offer a discount, so that travellers
are compensated for prolonged travel times and induced discomfort, while still increasing …

In many environmental monitoring scenarios, the sampling robot needs to simultaneously
explore the environment and exploit features of interest with limited time. We present an …

In densely populated-cities, the use of private cars for personal transportation is
unsustainable, due to high parking and road capacity requirements. The mobility-on …

Ride sharing—the bundling of simultaneous trips of several people in one vehicle—may
help to reduce the carbon footprint of human mobility. However, the complex collective …

Fleet sizing is critical for shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) fleet management to reduce
maintenance costs and traffic congestions. As the passenger demands are dynamic, how to …

Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) have been studied through analytical dispatch
methods and simulation. A common question of interest is how many customers can be …

Mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems are revolutionizing urban transit with the introduction of
ride-sharing. Such systems have the potential to reduce vehicle congestion and improve …
