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 ...

Safe Schedule Verification for Urban Air Mobility Networks With Node Closures

Nils Gustav Nilsson

In urban air mobility (UAM) networks, takeoff and landing sites, called vertiports, are likely to experience intermittent closures due to, e.g., adverse weather. To ensure safety, all in-flight urban air vehicles (UAVs) in a UAM network must therefore have ...

The Strong Integral Input-to-State Stability Property in Dynamical Flow Networks

Nils Gustav Nilsson

Dynamical flow networks serve as macroscopic models for, e.g., transportation networks, queuing networks, and distribution networks. While the flow dynamics in such networks follow the conservation of mass on the links, the outflow from each link is often ...

GreenEVT: Greensboro Electric Vehicle Testbed

Nils Gustav Nilsson

The ongoing electrification of the transportation fleet will increase the load on the electric power grid. Since both the transportation network and the power grid already experience periods of significant stress, joint analyses of both infrastructures wil ...

Receding-Horizon Games with Tullock-Based Profit Functions for Electric Ride-Hailing Markets

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

This paper proposes a receding-horizon, game-theoretic charging planning mechanism for electric ride-hailing markets. As the demand for ride-hailing services continues to surge and governments advocate for stricter environmental regulations, integrating el ...

A dynamic macroscopic framework for pricing of ride-hailing services with an optional bus lane access for pool vehicles

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Lynn Fayed, Nils Gustav Nilsson

On-demand trip sharing is an efficient solution to mitigate the negative externalities e-hailing has on traffic in a network. It motivates platform operators to reduce their fleet size and serves the same demand level with a lower effective distance travel ...

On Finding the Leader's Strategy in Quadratic Aggregative Stackelberg Pricing Games

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

This paper analyzes a class of Stackelberg games where different actors compete for shared resources and a central authority tries to balance the demand through a pricing mechanism. Situations like this can for instance occur when fleet owners of electric ...

On the Equilibrium and Stability Properties of a Macroscopic Model for Ride-Hailing Services with Limited Fleet Size

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nils Gustav Nilsson

With the growing popularity of ride-hailing services and the desire to operate those services efficiently, ridehailing companies need to ensure a sufficiently large fleet size and an appropriate rebalancing of empty vehicles. Due to the complexity of city ...

Resource aware pricing for electric vehicle charging

Nils Gustav Nilsson

Electric vehicle charging facilities offer their capacity constrained electric charge and parking to users for a fee. As electric vehicle adoption grows, so too does the potential for excessive resource utilization. In this paper, we study how prices set b ...

Sensitivity to user mischaracterizations in electric vehicle charging

Nils Gustav Nilsson

In this paper, we consider electric vehicle charging facilities that offer various levels of service, i.e., charging rates, for varying prices such that rational users choose a level of service that minimizes the total cost to themselves including an oppor ...

A macroscopic modelling framework for the dynamic pricing of pool ride-splitting vehicles in bus lanes

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Lynn Fayed, Nils Gustav Nilsson

The impact of ride-hailing vehicles on congestion raises multiple concerns, particularly in areas where the network space is constrained and the route infrastructure is unevenly distributed among multi-modal users. Mainly, idle ride-hailing vehicles pose m ...

Hierarchical Pricing Game for Balancing the Charging of Ride-Hailing Electric Fleets

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Marko Maljkovic, Nils Gustav Nilsson

Due to the ever-increasing popularity of ride-hailing services and the indisputable shift towards alternative fuel vehicles, the intersection of the ride-hailing market and smart electric mobility provides an opportunity to trade different services to achi ...

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 ...

On the utilization of dedicated bus lanes for pooled ride-hailing services

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Lynn Fayed, Nils Gustav Nilsson

Ride-sourcing platforms, among other solution services, offer convenience and flexibility when it comes to pick-up/drop-off time and location. Similarly, ride-splitting renders itself as an extension of ride-sourcing where platform users agree to share the ...

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 ...
