The RAAS 2021 workshop welcomes papers that address challenging research issues in the ride-hailing industry. All accepted papers will appear in ACM SIGSPATIAL proceedings, and the workshop will offer two Best Paper awards. Each winner will be awarded a certificate with signatures of the workshop co-chairs.
Topics of interest include the following areas, but are not limited to:
- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).
- Route Planning in Ride-hailing and Ride-sharing.
- Traffic Forecasting for Ride-hailing and Ride-sharing.
- Destination Suggestion and Prediction.
- POI Discovery, Classification, Retrieval, Filtering and Recommendation.
- Spatial Crowdsourcing for Ride-hailing and Ride-sharing.
- Location Privacy in Ride-hailing and Ride-sharing.
- Trajectory Mining for Ride-hailing Safety.
- Detection of Road Network Anomaly.
