Abstract:In mobility-on-demand services, the number of vehicles needed is often determined by peak demand during rush hours, leading to prolonged vehicle idle times during off-peak periods. This surplus capacity presents an opportunity for vehicles to perform additional tasks, potentially enhancing system efficiency and reducing the overall number of vehicles needed in cities. Leveraging agent-based modeling, we evaluate the effectiveness of vehicles catering to on-demand rides and food deliveries in two real-life scen… Show more
