In bike sharing systems the quality of the service to the users strongly depends on the strategy adopted to reposition the bikes. The bike repositioning problem is in general very complex as it involves different interrelated decisions: the…
In a carsharing system, a fleet of cars is distributed at stations in an urban area, customers can take and return cars at any time and station. For operating such a system in a satisfactory way, the stations have to keep a good ratio…
The static bike rebalancing problem (SBRP) concerns the task of repositioning bikes among stations in self-service bike-sharing systems. This problem can be seen as a variant of the one-commodity pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem,…

The growing popularity of bike-sharing systems around the world has motivated recent attention to models and algorithms for their effective operation. Most of this literature focuses on their daily operation for managing asymmetric demand.…
Dock-based bike-sharing systems exhibit spatial imbalances between bicycle supply and user demand, often addressed through overnight truck-based rebalancing. This work studies static overnight rebalancing under demand uncertainty modeled as…
Mobility systems featuring shared vehicles are often unable to serve all potential customers, as the distribution of demand does not coincide with the positions of vehicles at any given time. System operators often choose to reposition…
Bike-sharing is becoming increasingly popular as an urban traffic mode while increasing the affordability, flexibility, and reliability of interconnected public transportation systems (i.e., interconnected light rail, buses, micro-mobility,…
