On-Demand Ride-Matching in a Spatial Model with Abandonment and Cancellation
研究网约车平台如何通过设定预期接驾时间阈值来平衡乘客放弃和订单取消，提出一种适应时变需求的动态匹配策略。
Balancing the Abandonment and Cancellation of a Ride-Matching Market. In “On-Demand Ride-Matching in a Spatial Model with Abandonment and Cancellation,” Wang, Zhang, and Zhang propose a spatial model to approximate pickup times based on the number of waiting passengers and idle drivers. They analyze the dynamics of passengers and drivers in a queueing model in which the platform can control the matching process by setting a threshold on the expected pickup time. Applying fluid approximations, we obtain accurate performance evaluations and an elegant optimality condition based on which they propose a policy that adapts to time-varying demand.
