Abstract
The growing number of Shared Mobility-On-Demand services has the potential to contribute to a more socially and environmentally sustainable mobility provision. However, this potential may not be fully exploited due to possible conflicts with the objectives of the service providers. Thus, political discourses address regulatory instruments to influence providers’ operational planning. This paper analyzes the effects of two currently debated instruments, i.e., the introduction of a minimum pooling rate and a minimum spatial acceptance rate. This analysis is based on mathematical optimization models that we formulate as generalizations of the selective dial-a-ride problem. More precisely, the problem is first captured by a single-period model formulation and then generalized to a multi-period horizon to implement different regulatory strategies. In a comprehensive computational study, we solve the regulated model variants exactly both for artificial and real-world instances provided by our industry partner FLEXIBUS. We evaluate different levels of regulation for both instruments regarding their feasibility and their impact on the Shared Mobility-on-Demand system, and thereby identify their contribution to a conflicting multi-objective environment.
