Dynamic repositioning in bike-sharing systems with uncertain demand: An improved rolling horizon framework
The bike-sharing system (BSS) serves as a vital shared mobility mechanism, providing first- and last-mile services in urban transportation. However, one ongoing challenge in the BSS is the spatiotemporal imbalance caused by fluctuating user demand. To address this issue, this paper studies a dynamic bike repositioning problem under scenario-based demand to achieve a balance in inventory levels for electronic fences. Specifically, a multi-period two-stage stochastic model is proposed to make the trade-off between operational costs and service quality. The model incorporates a vehicle no-return (VNR) strategy, which allows vehicles to remain at the last station at the end of each period, awaiting the next repositioning task. To solve the model, an improved rolling horizon framework is introduced to effectively handle the temporal dimension complexity of the multi-period problem. Then a customized hybrid heuristic algorithm based on parallel genetic algorithm and variable neighborhood search is developed to obtain high-quality solutions. To validate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method, small-scale and practical-scale numerical experiments are specifically conducted based on real-world BSS data from Beijing, China. The results demonstrate the proposed method (i) creates a substantial reduction in the number of unmet demands when multiple scenarios potentially occur compared to the determined model, (ii) yields an average reduction of 29.04% in operational costs compared to the scheme without the VNR strategy, (iii) overcomes the short-sightedness inherent in the conventional single-period rolling horizon approach, exhibiting closer to optimal performance, and (iv) is superior to baseline approaches in terms of solution quality and efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
