Abstract

Transportation systems of the future need to be adaptive, adoptive, and responsive in order to meet the diverse challenges and ever-evolving demands. Conventional method of adding more resources on the road does not enhance its utility, rather it creates traffic congestion. Optimization of the usage of existing resources has been found to be one of the most effective solution to manage traffic congestion. The method we propose consists in increasing the occupancy rate of each vehicle and utilize other untapped resources in existing infrastructure. The resource optimization problem studied in this paper is NP hard, due to the vehicle routing and resource matching problem. In this paper, we are focused on developing a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm to optimize the use of taxi service not just as a carrier for people but also as a transport system for parcel delivery. Preliminary experiment with real-world data shows that our approach is able to quickly produce satisfactory solutions and the algorithm is able to provide an average of 17.7% improvement over conventional methods.
