Literature review of the vehicle relocation problem in one-way car sharing networks

Abstract: In this paper, we perform a systematic review of selected publications that offer method-based solutions to the vehicle relocation issues in car sharing networks. Asymmetric networks allowing one-way trips are the most promising form of car-sharing systems. However, the resulting vehicle imbalance across the station grid requires relocations. Typical approaches to solving the vehicle relocation problem include mixed-integer programming for strategic or operation-oriented design problems, as well as simulation models for management tasks. We survey how researchers define the decision problems related to the vehicle relocation issue, and consider their division into multistage approaches. This article offers a starting point for researchers interested in modeling one-way vehicle sharing.
