A Blotto Game Approach to Ride-hailing Markets with Electric Vehicles

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

When a centrally operated ride-hailing company considers to enter a market already served by another company, it has to make a strategic decision about how to distribute its fleet among different regions in the area. This decision will be influenced by the ...

Learning How to Price Charging in Electric Ride-Hailing Markets

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

With the electrification of ride-hailing fleets, there will be a need to incentivize where and when the ride-hailing vehicles should charge. In this work, we assume that a central authority wants to control the distribution of the vehicles and can do so by ...

How different charging prices can contribute to the balancing of ride-hailing services with electric vehicles

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

Motivated by the growing popularity of both the services offered by the ride-hailing companies and the electric vehicles (EVs), we study a scenario in which a central body e.g., the government, wants to influence how the EVs of different ride-hailing compa ...
