Abstract
Ride-hailing, in addition to a common mode of daily transportation, is an attractive option for evacuating stranded passengers and supplementing bus bridging in the early stages of an urban rail transit (URT) disruption. This paper proposes a service supply chain comprised of ride-hailing vehicles, ride-hailing platforms, and stranded passengers wherein the URT and ride-hailing chain together provide emergency evacuation services. The emergency evacuation service supply chain can be coordinated under an effort-based revenue sharing contract. A URT-dominated Stackelberg game model between the URT and ride-hailing platform is then formulated to optimize compensation decisions on the part of the URT; numerical analysis reveals critical factors affecting the said decisions. The main contributions of this paper are two-fold: first, it provides new information regarding collaboration between URT operators and ride-hailing platforms for stranded passenger evacuation, including a ride-hailing platform pricing strategy; and second, the URT compensation decision process is solved via Stackelberg game model while revealing an incentive coefficient parameter for the URT decision and solver.
Highlights
Urban rail transit (URT) systems are vital channels for commuters and provide necessary support for a wide array of mobility demands in metropolitan areas
We explored URT decision-making in providing disruption recovery services for stranded passengers evacuation in collaborating with ride-hailing companies
Extant research on this subject has centred on bus-bridging and feeder services – we propose instead an effective collaboration between URT and a ride-hailing company X for stranded passengers evacuation and destination-based services
Summary
Urban rail transit (URT) systems are vital channels for commuters and provide necessary support for a wide array of mobility demands in metropolitan areas. An equivalent number of vehicles can potentially be used to provide recovery services in the case of a URT disruption. If the URT provides certain compensation in addition, more stranded passengers would theoretically be able to transfer to ride-hailing vehicles to complete their commute – to this effect, ride-hailing may complement bus-bridging for disruption recovery. The URT may benefit from cooperating with ride-hailing companies to provide recovery services to evacuate stranded passengers in the case of a disruption. This paper focuses on collaboration between a URT and ride-hailing company for recovery service during railway disruption events. Ride-hailing is explored as potential compensation for disrupted URT services, the expected profits of participants are analysed, and a corresponding URT decision-making technique is established
