Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Demonstrate that fixed anticipation parameters cannot adapt to evolving supply-demand conditions, limiting system efficiency over time. • Propose a GNN+TD3 reinforcement learning framework that dynamically adjusts the level of anticipation in real-time routing and matching decisions. • Discover a “seed-and-harvest” behavioral pattern emerging from RL, where the policy invests in future fleet positioning early and switches to greedy optimization as the system saturates. • The policy generalizes robustly across fleet sizes (1,000–2,000 vehicles) and stochastic travel times without retraining.
