Abstract

The urban transport sector has been significantly transformed by technology. However, the adoption of these applications has also brought to light important social issues, including the cancellation of rides due to bias. The objective of this work is to analyze digital discrimination in light of a complex system and address it through the analysis of crowd data, which can guide mechanisms to dissuade discrimination in digital services. Our main motivation is to answer the following research questions: RQ1: Is there evidence of digital discrimination in the ridesharing services of Rio de Janeiro city? RQ2: Is it possible to identify the factors that lead to discrimination? RQ3: What are the key concepts regarding Digital Discrimination detection in a ridesharing service? RQ4: Could Machine Learning techniques accurately identify discrimination and their key variables that can be used in actions to mitigate this behavior?
