Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for carpool dual-pricing in ridesharing are provided. An exemplary method comprises: obtaining a machine-learning model trained to generate a probability for a carpool request from a rider to convert to a trip based at least on a pair of price adjustment multipliers applied to the carpool request; determining one or more Key Performance Indicator (KPI) models based on the machine-learning model; constructing an optimization model based on the KPI models, the optimization model comprising a plurality of pairs of price adjustment multipliers as decision variables; and determining optimal values of the plurality of pairs of price adjustment multipliers for the plurality of pricing units by solving the optimization model based on a plurality of historical carpool requests.
