Abstract
App-based ride-hailing services have expanded rapidly in recent years. In this study, simulation experiments are carried out for two regions in Germany: the metropolitan Berlin area and the rural area of the district Vulkaneifel (Volcanic Eifel). Transport users’ travel behavior is fixed and the operator is enabled to adjust the ride-hailing vehicle fleet size to keep 90% of all waiting times below 10 minutes. The results show that the trip density has a major impact on the required ride-hailing fleet size as well as the resulting service (e.g. operation hours, vehicle-kilometers and pooling rate). The simulation results reveal a nonlinear relationship of trip density and ride-hailing service parameters. A linear upscaling of simulation results for a small population sample may yield an overestimation of the fleet size, operating hours and vehicle kilometers. For low trip densities, the effect of pooling (ride-sharing) is disproportionately smaller compared to larger trip densities.

Operators of such services may use these positive economies of scale by limiting the ride-hailing service to high demand areas. Ride-hailing services with ride-sharing (pooling) allow for more flexibility in the dispatching and trip insertion algorithms. This provides a further incentive for operators to rather provide services in densely populated areas and once more raises the question of how to deal with sparsely populated regions
