With regard to task distribution in a ridesharing company, both the suitability of the tasks assigned to the drivers and the acceptability of the riders receiving the service should be simultaneously considered to improve the sustainability regarding Hitch services. Firstly, the process of the bi-directional choice between the drivers and the riders is described as a one-to-one two-sided matching problem. Next, prospect theory is used to characterize the psychological perceived behavior of both sides towards the matching scheme under the multiple criteria. Thus, the suitability function concerning the drivers and the acceptability function regarding the riders are naturally constructed. Following this, a two-sided matching decision model with two objectives is proposed. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model. Besides, managerial insights associated with how to set the optimization objectives under unbalanced supply-demand in ridesharing companies are given. Increasingly, this paper aims to not only validate the proposed methodology, but also to highlight the importance and urge of incorporating sustainability into the task distribution problem in ridesharing.

To mitigate or reduce various losses and improve efficiency of disaster response, the focus of this paper is to design optimized strategies of emergency organization allocation regarding sustainability. Firstly, an integrated framework including several elements such as emergency organization, task, decision-agents, environment and their relations is developed from a systematic perspective. Then, this problem is formulated as a novel multi-objective 0–1 integer programming model to minimize total weighted completion times, total carbon emissions and total emergency costs. Next, branch and bound approach and handling strategies for multiple objectives are designed to solve this model. Finally, a case study from the Wenchuan earthquake is presented to illustrate the proposed model and solution strategies. Computational results demonstrate their significant potential advantages on allocating emergency organization from the perspectives of best practice, objective functions, preferences of decision-agents, and problem size.

In this paper, 4S auto maintenance shop scheduling with multi-constraint machines is of concern. In 4S auto maintenance shop, it may appear temporary bottlenecks except for the long-term bottlenecks, and they form multi-constraint machines jointly with the task size reaching the peak. Through scheduling the constraint machines effectively, it can improve overall performance of the system to satisfy the customers’ requirements. First, we describe and construct a model for the scheduling problem which can be designed as the dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with multi-constraint machines for the goal of minimizing customers’ waiting time. Then, putting an emphasis on the constraint machines, we apply the theory of constraint to decompose and simplify the complex system and also construct the coordination mechanism between constraint machines and non-constraint machines. After that, an improved constraint-guided heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the constraint machine scheduling problem, while different dispatching rules are selected for solving the non-constraint machine scheduling according to the location of the non-bottleneck in the system. What is more, we design the rescheduling rules combing characteristics of the problem to realize dynamic scheduling with multi-constraint machines. Finally, 4S auto maintenance shop scheduling with high workload during the rush hour (on the eve of the holiday) served as the actual cases, and the proposed algorithm is compared with three different dispatching rules under various size of problems. The result obtained from the computational study has shown that the proposed algorithm is much better.
