The ride sharing routing problem : an optimization algorithm by Lawrence, Lucas

“…The objective of the problem is to assign each drivers to fetch two passengers given the locations of drivers, passengers' pick-up points and their destinations. We then designed an algorithm and observed that it produces smaller costs solution in most of the randomly generated data with time complexity $O(n^2\log n)$ for real valued weighted graph and $O(n^2)$ for integer valued weighted graph improved from the previous $O(n^3)$.…”
