The Simpler The Better: An Indexing Approach for Shared-Route Planning Queries
Summary: Introduces a simple greedy shared-route planner with a provable 0.5-approximation, contrasting prior impractical or weakly bounded methods. An additive-tree index accelerates route search, while randomization improves guarantees; experiments yield 31.4–127.4% higher revenue. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
