An operational framework for oneway electric carsharing systems with reservations

Abstract

Car-sharing is a new model for car-rental which enables people to rent cars for short periods of time. These systems have several benefits including environmental, energy and societal considerations. In this work, we are proposing a framework for the operational decisions of one-way electric car-sharing systems. The system is applied on a car-sharing system in Nice, France. Preliminary results show that, relocation operations are significantly improving the quality of the service.
