Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand Systems
Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand Systems
Abstract: In an autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) system, customers are transported by autonomously driving vehicles in an on-demand fashion. Although these AMoD systems will soon be introduced to cities, their quantitative analysis from a fleet management and city planning viewpoint remains challenging due to the lack of dedicated analysis tools. In this paper, we introduce AMoDeus, an open-source software package for the accurate and quantitative analysis of autonomous mobility-on-demand systems. AMoDeus uses agent-based transportation simulation frameworks to simulate arbitrarily configured AMoD systems with static or dynamic demand. It includes standard benchmark algorithms, fleet efficiency and service level analysis methods and a dedicated graphical viewer that allows in-depth insights into the system. Together with AMoDeus, we publish a typical simulation scenario based on taxi traces recorded in San Francisco. It can be used to test novel fleet control algorithms or as a basis to model more complex transportation research scenarios.

In March 2018, we release the AMoDeus library as open source. The software is part of the publication AMoDeus, a Simulation-Based Testbed for Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand Systems. The simulation software was developed by Claudio Ruch, Sebastian Hoerl, and myself. Several students contributed as well: Joel Gaechter, Lukas Sieber, Nicolo Ormezzano, Andy Aumiller and Marc Albert.

I realized to my horror,
that I do not know
what a straight line is.
