FedSM: A Practical Federated Shared Mobility System

Shared mobility leverages under-utilized vehicles to offer on-demand transport services by sharing vehicles among users. It strives to match supply with demand via a series of data-intensive operations such as supply prediction and task assignment. However, its full potential is often compromised in practice as most shared mobility platforms operate in isolation, leading to sub-optimal resource utilization. In this demonstration, we advocate a federated approach to shared mobility, which enhances its effectiveness by enabling optimizations across platforms while retaining their autonomy. We develop privacy-preserving operators and incentive mechanisms dedicated to supply prediction and task assignment in shared mobility and implement generic interfaces that support diverse prediction and assignment algorithms. We showcase the shared mobility system with real-world ride-hailing applications. © is held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to the VLDB Endowment.
