Titre: Stable Matching and Sustainable Cost Allocation for RideSharing Systems
Résumé:
Ride-sharing, a sustainable transportation mode, allows drivers to flexibly share idle seats in their vehicles with others. This talk addresses two key issues: matching and cost allocation between participants, both of which directly affect the efficiency of real-time ride-sharing systems and the benefits of participants. We formulate the real-time matching problem as a stable marriage problem. With the stable matching requirement, we evaluate four common rule-based cost-allocation methods and Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG)-based pricing mechanism in the literature and prove a tight worst-case performance ratio in terms of loss of system efficiency for each of them. Then, a novel cost-allocation method is designed to guarantee that the yielded matching not only is stable and system-wide optimal but also makes the system deficit-free and thus financially sustainable. Our theoretical and experimental results are expected to advance the theoretical development in modeling ride-sharing and provide practical guidelines in real-world applications.
