Marketplace Matching Algorithms

Simulations and articles exploring how digital platforms coordinate supply and demand in real time. Marketplace coordination systems match buyers with sellers, riders with drivers or customers with service providers.

Simulation models help visualize how platform algorithms reduce idle time, improve matching efficiency and increase system productivity. These models are particularly useful for explaining ride-hailing, delivery platforms and online marketplaces.

One city and one 10-driver pool, two operating models. The left panel shows customers facing expensive, less certain street-style service while drivers burn time waiting at stands. The right panel coordinates matching, ordering, and payment so more customers can afford to take trips and drivers can either finish sooner for the same pay or stay out and earn more.
