Multimodal Transportation with Ridesharing of Personal Vehicles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many public transportation systems are unable to keep up with growing passenger demand as the population grows in urban areas. The slow or lack of improvement for public transportation pushes people to use private transportation modes, such as carpooling and ridesharing. However, the occupancy rate of personal vehicles has been dropping in many cities. In this paper, we describe a centralized transit system that integrates public transit and ridesharing, which matches drivers and transit riders such that the riders would result in shorter travel time using both transit and ridesharing. The optimization goal of the system is to assign as many riders to drivers as possible for ridesharing. We give an exact approach and approximation algorithms to achieve the optimization goal. As a case study, we conduct an extensive computational study to show the effectiveness of the transit system for different approximation algorithms, based on the real-world traffic data in Chicago City; the data sets include both public transit and ridesharing trip information. The experiment results show that our system is able to assign more than 60% of riders to drivers, leading to a substantial increase in occupancy rate of personal vehicles and reducing riders' travel time.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
