Abstract: In this paper we study the integrated planning problem of determining car-sharing prices between zones of the operating area and routing employees (operators) to relocate cars in preparation for future uncertain demand. We present a novel two-stage integer stochastic programming model for this problem together with a heuristic algorithm, based on Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS), to obtain solutions to realistically sized instances. We test the ALNS heuristic on a set of instances generated based on data from a real car-sharing organization and show that it outperforms a commercial solver.
