UTP-Bench: Uncertainty-aware Travel Planning Benchmark

UTP-Bench is a new benchmark for uncertainty-aware travel planning that evaluates large language models on their ability to generate robust itineraries under real-world stochastic conditions. The dataset covers 504 Indian cities, incorporating attractions, restaurants, accommodations, and multi-modal transportation networks, and includes empirical delay distributions and crowd-density patterns to simulate realistic disruptions. Three new metrics—Buffer Adequacy Score, Crowd-Aware Timing Score, and Transport Delay Absorption Score—measure how well generated plans maintain robustness against transit delays and crowd variability, revealing significant gaps between state-of-the-art LLMs and human-authored itineraries.

UTP-Bench: Uncertainty-aware Travel Planning Benchmark

UTP‑Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates large language models on uncertainty‑aware travel planning, incorporating real‑world data from 504 Indian cities and empirical delay and crowd patterns. It introduces three metrics—Buffer Adequacy Score, Crowd‑Aware Timing Score, and Transport Delay Absorption Score—to measure how well generated itineraries remain robust under stochastic conditions. Experiments show that current LLMs lag behind human planners in buffering, delay‑aware scheduling, and crowd sensitivity.

OpenHail: An Event-Driven Gymnasium Environment for Electric Ride-Hailing Fleet Control

OpenHail is an open-source Gymnasium environment designed for controlling electric ride‑hailing fleets. It offers a fixed‑size observation–action interface that handles request assignment, repositioning, and charging, while its event‑driven simulator models pickup deadlines, vehicle job queues, battery dynamics, and finite‑capacity charging facilities with FIFO queues. The environment supports various decision‑epoch mechanisms—event‑driven, periodic, hybrid, and policy‑requested—allowing flexible policy interactions within a unified operational model, and includes tools for evaluation, metrics, and baseline policies.

TravelEval: A Comprehensive Benchmarking Framework for Evaluating LLM-Powered Travel Planning Agents

arXiv:2606. 01046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly improved travel planning applications, yet evaluating such models is limited by existing benchmarks' limitations: 1) overemphasis on constraint compliance, neglecting multi-dimensional qualities like spatio-temporal cost; 2) datasets lacking real-world authenticity and coverage in key areas (e.

ProfiLLM: Utility-Aligned Agentic User Profiling for Industrial Ride-Hailing Dispatch

Bringing Large Language Models (LLMs) into industrial ride-hailing dispatch as semantic feature extractors over platform-scale behavioral logs is a compelling but under-explored data systems problem. Production matching pipelines remain dominated by structured numerical features, yet decisive behavioral signals (e.

RideSkill: A Hierarchical Algorithm for Generalized Ride Sharing with LLM-Driven Automatic Evolution

RideSkill is a hierarchical algorithm for generalized ride sharing that uses large language models (LLMs) to automatically design and train a skill repository, a combiner, and a repositioner. The combiner assigns vehicle-specific skills for adaptive dispatch across varying scenarios and objectives, while the repositioner moves idle vehicles to emerging regions to avoid conflicts. By training all components via an LLM-based evolutionary method, RideSkill eliminates the need for real-time LLM calls, enabling high-performance deployment in large-scale systems.
