Commuting Service Platform: Concept and Analysis
We propose and investigate the concept of commuting service platforms (CSP) that leverage emerging mobility services to provide commuting services and connect directly commuters (employees) and their worksites (employers). By applying the two-sided market analysis framework, we show under what conditions a CSP may present the two-sidedness. Both the monopoly and duopoly CSPs are then analyzed. We showhowthe price allocation, i.e., the prices charged to commuters and worksites, can impact the participation and profit of the CSPs. We also add demand constraints to the duopoly model so that the participation rates ofworksites and employees are (almost) the same. With demand constraints, the competition between the two CSPs becomes less intense in general. Discussions are presented on how the results and findings in this paper may help build CSP in practice and how to develop new, CSP-based travel demand management strategies.

The Benefits of Autonomous Vehicles for Community-Based Trip Sharing
This work reconsiders the concept of community-based trip sharing proposed by Hasan et al. (2018) that leverages the structure of commuting patterns and urban communities to optimize trip sharing. It aims at quantifying …
Autonomous VehiclesTransportation Scenario Planning with Graph Neural Networks
Providing efficient human mobility services and infrastructure is one of the major concerns of most mid-sized to large cities around the world. A proper understanding of the dynamics of commuting flows is, therefore, a r…
Graph Neural NetworkAn income-based approach to modeling commuting distance in the Toronto area
The purpose of this article is to propose a novel model of the effects of changes in shelter and driving costs on car commuting distances in the overheated Toronto housing market from 2011 to 2016. The model borrows from…
Downscaling human mobility data based on demographic socioeconomic and commuting characteristics using interpretable machine learning methods
Understanding urban human mobility patterns at various spatial levels is essential for social science. This study presents a machine learning framework to downscale origin-destination (OD) taxi trips flows in New York Ci…
Interpretable Machine LearningThe network paradigm as a modeling tool in regional economy: the case of interregional commuting in Greece
Network Science is an emerging discipline using the network paradigm to model communication systems as pair-sets of interconnected nodes and their linkages (edges). This paper applies this paradigm to study an interactin…
