Market Design of Next Generation of Shared and Automated Transport Services

该项目旨在开发新的定量模型和市场设计方法，从根本上改变多式联运网络中共享和自动化点对点运输服务的分析、控制和监管。该项目提供了一种创新的非均衡方法，对多个竞争交通平台、旅行者、自由职业者司机和交通立法实体进行建模，以确保实现社会福利。该项目的成果解决了向自动化的最终过渡，即平台在其车队中拥有和使用不同比例的自动驾驶汽车。该项目希望产生新的交通科学知识，用于减少私家车对社会、经济和环境的影响。

This project aims to develop novel quantitative models and market design methods to fundamentally transform the analysis, control and regulation of shared and automated point-to-point transport services in multimodal networks. The project offers an innovative non-equilibrium approach that models multiple competitive transport platforms, travellers, freelancer drivers and transport legislator entity to ensure achieving social welfare. The project outcomes address the eventual transition towards automation where platforms own and utilise different proportions of AVs in their fleet. The project expects to generate new knowledge of transport science that can be used to lessen social, economic and environmental impacts of private car ownership.
