报告题目：Spatial Queueing Models in On-Demand Economy
报告时间：2020年7月21日上午10:00-12:00
报告地点：Online
报告摘要：
I will discuss several spatial queueing models motivated by the recent applications of the on-demand economy, such as ride-hailing and on-demand food delivery. In those models, queueing theory can be applied to capture the spatial movements of servers such as vehicles and food-delivery couriers. I will use those models to explain how to resolve the wild goose chase problem in ride-hailing, how to dispatch and route food-delivery couriers, and what might affect the restaurant industry over the long run after the introduction of on-demand delivery.
