Abstract
With the rapid expansion of ride-sourcing markets, most transportation network companies, such as Uber, and Didi, seek to satisfy passengers’ diversified preferences by providing various  service modes (e.g., solo ride and shared ride) and service classes (e.g., normal and premium services with different classes of vehicle). However, passenger-vehicle matching may become more complicated and spatiotemporal class-specific demand-supply imbalance may arise due to market segmentation with multiple service modes and classes. In this talk, we introduce two operational strategies of bundling and upgrading of service options to flexibly coordinate inter-mode and inter-class service demand and supply. Theoretical models and tailored solution algorithms are described and the effectiveness of these strategies is validated.
