DESCRIPTION:Title: Optimizing Shared Vehicle Systems (or how I learnt to
	 stop worrying and love surge pricing)\nSpeaker: Sid Banerjee\nAbstract:
	 (UNUSUAL SCHEDULED TIME) Shared vehicle systems\, such as those for
	 bike-sharing (e.g.\, Citi Bike in NYC\, Velib in Paris)\, car-sharing
	 (e.g.\, car2go\, Zipcar) and ride-sharing (Uber\, Lyft\, etc.) are fast
	 becoming essential components of the city life. The technology behind
	 these platforms enable fine-grained monitoring and control tools\,
	 including good demand forecasts\, accurate vehicle-availability
	 information\, and the ability to do dynamic pricing and vehicle
	 repositioning. However\, with great technology comes great complexity\,
	 and as a result optimizing the operations of such systems is
	 challenging. I will talk about some of my work in designing 'primetime
	 pricing' at Lyft.
