The system provides for optimal operation including a fleet di- mensioning module for determining an optimal number of vehicles in a fleet needed to serve a collection of trip requests, and a vehicle dis- patching module for dispatching the fleet of vehicles to serve a select- ed number of trip requests. The fleet dimensioning module employs a shareability network to model trip requests that can be served by a same vehicle to fmd the minimum number of vehicles in the fleet to serve all trip requests in the collection of trip requests.
