Abstract

This PhD thesis delves into the intricate realm of supply-side behavioural dynamics and operations within the ride-sourcing system. It investigates drivers' pivotal decisions, focusing on ride acceptance and relocation choices at the operational level. By leveraging a unique dataset, novel theories on ride-sourcing drivers’ behaviour are developed and thoughtfully integrated into a system operation model, shedding light on their far-reaching impacts on the overall ride-sourcing system performance.
