Abstract

On-demand, vehicle-based services—such as ride-hailing, food, grocery, and parcel delivery—have become ubiquitous over the past decade. These services can be categorized into four types (Sun et al., 2023): passenger mobility, goods delivery, information acquisition (e.g., probe vehicle for traffic conditions), and mobile server (e.g., vehicle displaying advertisements). Passenger mobility and goods delivery are typically fulfilled by separate fleets, each dedicated to a single service. However, if various services can be pooled and handled simultaneously by a multi-functional fleet while maintaining service quality, the total number of required vehicles and overall vehicle mileage could be significantly reduced. This exciting potential motivates our study to quantify the benefits of the multi-service fleet and address the minimum fleet size problem for multi-service vehicles.
