Abstract Ride-pooling’s contribution to VKT reduction and its associated environmental effects are not yet fully examined. We design a simulation with operational data from DiDi to model an ideal situation in which all riders are open to ride-pooling. We find that under our initial assumptions, with a buffer time of 60 s, ride-pooling has the potential to reduce aggregate VKT by 8.21% as compared to standard ride-hailing mode in a mid-sized city, Haikou. This reduction in VKT is equivalent to a savings of 1,234,164 Liters in petroleum consumption and 3308 tons in carbon emissions annually. Additionally, our simulations indicate that the contribution of ride-pooling to VKT reduction is highly sensitive to buffer time and period of day. We further establish a decision model that aims to achieve a better balance between social benefits and riders’ costs. We conclude that ride-pooling services, if implemented on a large scale, can substantially promote sustainable transportation.
