Application-based taxi and car service e-hailing systems have revolutionized urban mobility by providing on-demand ride services that are timely and convenient. The integration of mathematics, economics, and artificial intelligence is crucial for the development of efficient and sustainable on-demand mobility services, which ultimately benefit customers. This talk will explore the latest developments and research issues in ride-sourcing markets, including demand forecasting, surge-pricing, matching, pricing, and ride-pooling, optimal resource allocation, and the impact of ride-pooling on traffic congestion. Additionally, we will discuss topics such as competition, third-party platform-integration, Pareto-efficient market regulations, and the analysis of human mobility and network property using big car trajectory data.
