Shifts in perspective: Operational aspects in (non-) autonomous ride-pooling simulations

Résumé

In this article, we simulate and evaluate the operational challenges of non-autonomous ridepooling systems through driver shifts and breaks and compare their capacity and efficiency to automated on-demand services. We introduce shift and break schedules and a new hub return logic to perform the respective tasks at different types of vehicle hubs. This way, currently operating on-demand services are modelled more realistically and the efficiency gains of such services through autonomous vehicles are quantified. The results suggest that operational challenges substantially limit the ride-pooling capacity in terms of served rides with a given number of vehicles. While results largely depend on the chosen shift plan, the presented operational factors should be considered for the assessment of current operational real-world services. The contribution of this study is threefold-from a technical perspective, it is shown that the explicit simulation of operational constraints of current services is crucial to assess ride-pooling services. From a policy perspective, the study shows the potential of future autonomous services in direct comparison with non-autonomous services. Lastly, the paper adds to the literature a realistic ride-pooling simulation use case based on observed real-world demand and shift data.
