| contents | Ride-hailing platforms have a profound impact on urban transportation systems, and their performance largely depends on how intelligently they dispatch vehicles in real time. In this work, we develop a new approach to online vehicle dispatch that strengthens a platform's ability to serve more requests under demand uncertainty. We introduce a novel measure called sink proximity, a network-science-inspired measure that captures how demand and vehicle flows are likely to evolve across the city. By integrating this measure into a shareability-network framework, we design an online dispatch algorithm that naturally considers future network states, without depending on fragile spatiotemporal forecasts. Numerical studies demonstrate that our proposed solution significantly improves the request service rate under peak hours within a receding horizon framework with limited future information available. |
