New collaboration
We launched collaboration on Network-Science with the group of prof. Rob Kooij to exploit how networks shape the ride-pooling problems. Today I gave a seminar for his group in Delft.

TRB submissions and other successes
π 1st Aug is a relief day for all transport-people, so it was for us, we can be happy with out TRB submissions, kudos to allπ:- 𧨠Farnoud Ghasemi made an intiguing ABM simulations of Uber rise and fall;
- 𧨠Usman Akhtar explored when and why the ride-pooling calculations explode;
- 𧨠Olha Shulika is closing up her Post-Pandemic Ride Pooling Review and
- 𧨠Michal Bujak lately got accepted for Complex Networks conference with his probabilistic ride-pooling.

Hyper pool algorithm from now on arXiv
Our pre-print is out. Typically it is too early to announce, but this is super-exciting. We managed to push the limits of pooling to the edge: 14 co-travellers in an attractive hyper-pooled rides (turbo version of our ExMAS)

PLOS maassim
Our flagship software is out and published. Along with a documented repository, the MaaSSim community have now the deeper and more formal documentation in PLOS One - hope it can help the community grow.

Finally in person at hEART
After 2+ years, finally in person meeting with the community hEART conference in Leuven. Six contributions from our side (Arkadiusz Drabicki, Michal Bujak, Marko MariΔiΔ, Peyman Ashkrof, Arjan de Ruijter and Farnoud Ghasemi presented results of our joint work). Plus a great keynote by prof. Oded Cats, summarizing roughly all on which our lab is founded, including ExMAS and MaaSSim.

A few words about ride pooling problem at Cracow University of Technology
I presented the Ride-Pooling problem at our flagship national conference Modelling 2022 at Cracow University of Technology. Good opportunity to introduce my team and research problems to exceptional practitioners involved in most challenging infrastructure projects in the country - slides

Usman joins the team
Usman joined us as a new PostDoc. Usman will leverage on his Computer Science skills to enhance the ride-pooling.
-
Olha joins the team
Happy to welcome Olha Shulika, our new PostDoc π€ Olha, before the russian aggression was an Assistant Professor in Kharkiv, Ukraine. She joined us to explore the ride-pooling in the postpandemic world ππ

Our papers accepted to hEART 2022
π£ 4/4 our papers got accepted to this year hEART conference: Michal Bujak with topological properties of ride-pooling; Farnoud Ghasemi with drivers request acceptance simulation; Marko MariΔiΔ with stop-to-stop ride-pooling; and Arkadiusz Drabicki will fight bus-bunching with real-time information. Looking forward π
