TLDR
In this paper, an integrated model structure which integrates empirical analysis into a discrete choice based analytical framework was proposed to investigate a heterogenous population's choices on transportation mode and car ownership with the presence of ride-hailing.Abstract:
On-demand transportation services have been developing in an irresistible trend since their first launch in public. These services not only transform the urban mobility landscape, but also profoundly change individuals’ travel behavior and demand for cars. In this paper, we propose an integrated model structure which integrates empirical analysis into a discrete choice based analytical framework to investigate a heterogenous population’s choices on transportation mode and car ownership with the presence of ride-hailing. Distinguished from traditional discrete choice models where individuals’ choices are only affected by exogenous variables and are independent of other individuals’ choices, our model extends to capture the endogeneity of supply demand imbalance between ride-hailing service providers and users. Through equilibrium searching and counterfactual analysis, we further quantify the magnitude of impacts of platform operations and government policies on car demand, usage and traffic conditions. The structure of the model and managerial insights are explained in detail.read more

The measurement of urban travel demand
TL;DR: In this article, travel demand forecasting has been the province of transportation engineers, who have built up over the years considerable empirical wisdom and a repertory of largely ad hoc models which have proved successful in various applications.

An Analysis of the Labor Market for Uber’s Driver-Partners in the United States
Jonathan Hall,Alan B. Krueger +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide the first comprehensive analysis of the labor market for Uber's driver-partners, finding that most of them had full- or part-time employment before joining Uber, and many continue in those positions after starting to drive with the Uber platform, which makes the flexibility to set their own hours especially valuable.

Origin-destination trips by purpose and time of day inferred from mobile phone data
TL;DR: This work presents methods to estimate average daily origin–destination trips from triangulated mobile phone records of millions of anonymized users, which form the basis for much of the analysis and modeling that inform transportation planning and investments.

The Role of Surge Pricing on a Service Platform with Self-Scheduling Capacity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study several pricing schemes that could be implemented on a service platform, including surge pricing, and find that the optimal contract substantially increases the platform's profit relative to contracts that have a fixed price or fixed wage or both, and although surge pricing is not optimal, it generally achieves nearly the optimal profit.
