We developed a real-time dispatch algorithm with theoretical performance guarantees for mobility services that include shared, automated, electric vehicles (to be presented at ISTTT24 in Beijing). Data shared by then BMW ReachNow (now ShareNow) was used to test and show the algorithm outperforming state-of-the-art benchmarks. This scientific breakthrough will help fleet-based mobility services establish more sustainable and efficient operations, especially if they are looking to electrify their fleets.
