One of the critical issues in the operation of vehicle-sharing systems is the optimization of the fleet repositioning … movements. Repositioning implies the artificial movement of vehicles from places where they accumulate to others in which they … the vehicle utilization rates. In the particular case of bike-sharing systems, repositioning implies to deploy a fleet of …

While most other ride-hailing studies only consider one specific setting for … and repositioning work best under different given problem characteristics. Our results show that the proposed …

In dynamic ride-sharing systems, intelligent repositioning of idle vehicles often improves the overall performance with …-driven idle vehicle repositioning algorithm. Our approach takes a demand forecast as well as the current vehicle fleet … configuration as inputs and determines suitable repositioning assignments for idle vehicles. The core part of our approach is a …
