  • Data-driven system for optimal vehicle fleet dimensioning and real-time dispatching based on shareability networks
    Patent number: 12131276
    Abstract: Real-time, point-to-point, on-demand ride dispatching system. The system provides for optimal operation including a fleet dimensioning module for determining an optimal number of vehicles in a fleet needed to serve a collection of trip requests, and a vehicle dispatching module for dispatching the fleet of vehicles to serve a selected number of trip requests. The fleet dimensioning module employs a shareability network to model trip requests that can be served by a same vehicle to find the minimum number of vehicles in the fleet to serve all trip requests in the collection of trip requests.

  • System for real-time optimal matching of ride sharing requests
    Patent number: 11288603
    Abstract: System for optimal matching of ride sharing requests. A trip request manager receives trip requests from patrons and a shareability network is established. The system checks to see whether certain parameters related to ride-sharing delays are less than or equal to other parameters to decide whether trips are shareable.
