Abstract

The aim of this study is to model an on-demand ride-pooling system in a microscopic traffic flow simulation environment. On-demand systems are hardly modeled in microsimulations, hence a research gap was identified here. First of all, a methodology was developed to match the requests with the vehicles, considering the operator as well as the passenger interests. Then the simulation setup for the campus of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich was carried out, taking into account the specialties for on-demand traffic and the traffic data feed for the remaining traffic. The data flow from already installed traffic cameras into the microsimulation was illustrated and the steps to model on-demand traffic were elaborated. Results have shown that the objective function can be modified according to the ride-pooling system requirements via various weighting parametrizations, that higher demand profiles lead to more shareability and efficiency, and that ride-pooling strategy outperforms ride-hailing in on-demand systems.
