| Popis: | 106 Transportation service is rapidly changing in the past few decades. On one hand, ride-sharing services in the sharing economy impact the transportation industry. On the other hand, autonomous vehicles may also revolutionize transportation services. We consider a transportation service provider choosing between offering ride-sharing services or autonomous vehicle services. For each service mode, we derive its optimal prices, subsidies, revenue sharing proportions, the quantity of vehicle deployment, and service location selection. A comparison between these two modes is then conducted. We find that the autonomous vehicle service is more profitable than the ride-sharing one under the economy of scale. Interestingly, the optimal service price decreases in the cost of deploying autonomous vehicles. Our study thus sheds lights in the choice of quality incentive and price incentive and also provide a proper algorithm and time-complexity analysis for an autonomous vehicle service station location selection problem. |
