En Route Path-planning for Partially Occupied Vehicles in Ride-pooling Systems
Ride-pooling services, such as UberPool and Lyft Shared Saver, enable a single vehicle to serve multiple customers within one shared trip. Efficient path-planning algorithms are crucial for improving the performance of such systems. For partially occupied vehicles with available capacity, we introduce a novel routing algorithm designed to maximize the likelihood of picking up additional passengers while serving the current passengers to their destination.
