揭示和减轻公平政策制定的乘车定价偏差
Unveiling and Mitigating Bias in Ride-Hailing Pricing for Equitable Policy Making
摘要：
由于提供的便利性，叫车服务的受欢迎程度飙升，但最近的研究表明，他们的定价策略可能对一些乘客产生不同的影响，例如那些生活在弱势社区的有色人种或贫困线以下居民的比例更高。由于缺乏足够的公共交通，这些社区往往更加依赖叫车服务，因此必须解决这种不平等问题。为此，本文通过设计适用的公平措施和相应的公平定价机制，首次对网约车服务的公平定价进行了深入研究。通过提供可能由政府补贴的折扣，我们的方法为弱势群体提供了更多更实惠的乘车服务。芝加哥出租车数据的实验验证了我们的理论研究结果，为政府制定公平的乘车政策提供了依据。
英文摘要：
Ride-hailing services have skyrocketed in popularity due to the convenience they offer, but recent research has shown that their pricing strategies can have a disparate impact on some riders, such as those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods with a greater share of residents of color or residents below the poverty line. Since these communities tend to be more dependent on ride-hailing services due to lack of adequate public transportation, it is imperative to address this inequity. To this end, this paper presents the first thorough study on fair pricing for ride-hailing services by devising applicable fairness measures and corresponding fair pricing mechanisms. By providing discounts that may be subsidized by the government, our approach results in an increased number and more affordable rides for the disadvantaged community. Experiments on real-world Chicago taxi data confirm our theoretical findings which provide a basis for the government to establish fair ride-hailing policies.
