Abstract

This paper introduces a sub-leasing type of round-trip carsharing to enhance its efficiency for both customers and companies. This innovative type of carsharing provides new temporary stations and allows customers to access both vehicles in the company's stations and vehicles already reserved but parked and unused in other locations. The evaluation is performed using simulation with available demand datasets. Results show that the proposed model significantly increases the acceptance rate of the reservations, enhances the availability and accessibility of the company's vehicles, and reduces the needed fleet size. Hence, it provides many benefits for both companies and customers. Sensitivity analyses quantify the expected improvement by assuming a higher acceptable walking distance for customers and by increasing the flexibility of the customers’ reservation time.

摘要

本文介绍了一种分租类型的往返汽车共享，以提高其对客户和公司的效率。这种创新的汽车共享类型提供了新的临时站点，并允许客户访问公司站点中的车辆和已经预订但停放在其他地点且未使用的车辆。评估是使用可用需求数据集的模拟来执行的。结果表明，所提出的模型显着提高了预订的接受率，提高了公司车辆的可用性和可达性，并减少了所需的车队规模。因此，它为公司和客户提供了许多好处。
