On-demand ride-sharing is rapidly growing.Matching trip requests to vehicles efficiently is critical for the service quality of ride-sharing. To match trip requests with vehicles, a prune-and-select scheme is commonly used. The pruning stage identifies feasible vehicles that can satisfy the trip constraints (e.g., trip time). The selection stage selects the optimal one(s) from the feasible vehicles. The pruning stage is crucial to reduce the complexity of the selection stage and to achieve efficient matching. We propose an effective and efficient pruning algorithm called GeoPrune. GeoPrune represents the time constraints of trip requests using circles and ellipses, which can be computed and updated efficiently. Experiments on real-world datasets show that GeoPrune reduces the number of vehicle candidates in nearly all cases by an order of magnitude and the update cost by two to three orders of magnitude compared to the state-of-the-art.
