Abstract: The advances in information and communication technology are changing theway people move. Companies that offer demand-responsive transportation serviceshave the opportunity to reduce their costs and increase their revenues throughcollaboration, while at the same time reducing the environmental impact of theiroperations. We consider the case of companies, offering a shared taxi service, thatare involved in horizontal collaboration and present mixed integer programmingmodels for the optimization of their routes that embed constraints aimed at bal-ancing the workload exchange. These constraints bound the imbalance in terms oftraveled time and/or served customers to be less than thresholds agreed in advanceby the companies. We also present a heuristic algorithm and show the benefits ofthe collaboration.
