The transition to electric vehicles (EVs), coupled with the rise of renewable energy sources, will significantly impact the electric grid. Unlike conventional fuel sources, electricity for EVs is constrained by grid capacity, price fluctuations, and long EV charging times, requiring new pricing solutions to manage demand and supply. This paper prop...

Accurately predicting the real-life performance of algorithms solving the Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) in the context of Mobility on Demand (MoD) systems with ridesharing requires evaluating them on representative instances. However, the benchmarking of state-of-the-art DARP solution methods has been limited to small, artificial instances or outdated...

As electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly becoming a common occurrence on roads, commercial EV charging is becoming a standard commercial service. With this development, charging station operators are looking for ways to make their charging services more profitable or allocate the available resources optimally. Dynamic pricing is a proven technique to...

The charging infrastructure for electric vehicles faces the challenges of insufficient capacity and long charging duration. These challenges decrease the electric vehicle users’ satisfaction and lower the profits of infrastructure providers. Reservation systems can mitigate these issues. We introduce a reference architecture for interoperable reserva...

As the number of electric vehicles on the roads increases, new technologies and concepts such as fast/super-fast charging and dynamic pricing are developed and implemented respectively. With those innovations on the rise, reservation of charging stations for electric vehicles will play a pivotal role in seamlessly integrating them into the transpor...

With the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles (EVs), the provision of EV charging is becoming a standard commercial service. With this shift, EV charging service providers are looking for ways to make their business more profitable. Dynamic pricing is a proven technique to increase revenue in markets with time-variant, heterogeneous demand. I...

On-demand transport has been disrupted by Uber and other providers, which are challenging the traditional approach adopted by taxi services. Instead of using fixed passenger pricing and driver payments, there is now the possibility of adaptation to changes in demand and supply. Properly designed, this new approach can lead to desirable tradeos betw...

Efficient allocation of charging capacity to electric vehicle (EV) users is a key prerequisite for large-scale adaption of electric vehicles. Dynamic pricing represents a flexible framework for balancing the supply and demand for limited resources. In this paper, we show how dynamic pricing can be employed for allocation of EV charging capacity. Ou...

This document serves as a technical report for the analysis of on-demand transport dataset. Moreover we show how the dataset can be used to develop a market formation algorithm based on machine learning. Data used in this work comes from Liftago, a Prague based company which connects taxi drivers and customers through a smartphone app. The dataset...
