ABSTRACT

Recently, carsharing has emerged as an alternative to vehicle ownership in many countries worldwide. This study examines the system parameters of one-way carsharing systems to determine a trade-off between the lost sales rate and system parameters. Four system parameters are considered in this study, namely average number of vehicles per station, rate of one-way trip, average number of staffs per station, and relocation policy. The performance of round-trip carsharing systems is also compared to that of one-way carsharing systems. A regression model is developed to predict the lost sales rate based on the various operational conditions for a one-way carsharing system. The findings of the study provide tools to understand the impact of carsharing system parameters on the efficiency of carsharing operations and predict the performance of such systems when any modifications occur.

摘要

最近，汽车共享已成为全球许多国家汽车所有权的替代方案。本研究检查单向汽车共享系统的系统参数，以确定销售损失率和系统参数之间的权衡。本研究考虑了四个系统参数，即每个站点的平均车辆数量、单程出行率、每个站点的平均员工数量和搬迁政策。往返汽车共享系统的性能也与单程汽车共享系统的性能进行了比较。基于单向汽车共享系统的各种操作条件，开发了一种回归模型来预测销售损失率。
