AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional ride-sharing matching strategies are difficult to implement in real urban traffic environments, affecting passenger travel experience and increasing ride-hailing operating costs.

Method used

By identifying the areas where passengers can share rides, a route search is performed based on the origin and destination of the ride order. A directed graph is constructed, and the ant colony algorithm is used to optimize the route, ensuring that the ride-sharing route meets the needs of passengers and avoids taking detours.

Benefits of technology

It has optimized the passenger travel experience, reduced the operating costs of ride-hailing services, increased the ride-sharing rate, and alleviated urban traffic congestion.

Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for optimizing ride-sharing matching routes, belonging to the field of ride-sharing matching technology. The method includes: determining a potential ride-sharing area based on the current location and initial route of the target vehicle; performing a route search based on the origin and destination locations of each ride order within a set of potential ride-sharing orders to determine ride-sharing orders, wherein the set of potential ride-sharing orders includes ride orders whose origin locations are within the potential ride-sharing area; and performing route planning based on the origin and destination locations of each ride order, and the current location and current destination of the target vehicle to determine the ride-sharing route for the target vehicle. This invention improves the passenger travel experience while reducing ride-sharing operating costs.
