摘要:Heterogeneous Fleet and Multi-Depot Static Bike Rebalancing Problem with Split Load (HFMDSBRP-SD) is an extension of the Static Bike Rebalancing Problem, considering heterogeneous fleet multiple depots, allowing split load. It consists of finding a set of least-cost repositioning vehicle routes and determining each station’s pickup or delivery quantity to satisfy the demand of each station. We develop a branch-and-price-and-cut (BPC) where a tabu search column generator and a heuristic label-setting algorithm are introduced to accelerate the column generation procedure, the subset-row (SR) inequalities, the strong minimum number of vehicles (SMV) inequalities, and the enhanced elementary inequalities are extended fitting this problem and applied to speed up the global convergence rate. Computational results demonstrate the effectiveness of the BPC algorithm. Among 360 instances with a maximum size of 30, there are 298 instances capable of achieving optimality within two hour time limitation.

Bike sharing systems (BSSs) are widely adopted in major cities of the world due to traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Although there have been approaches to exploit either bike trailers via crowdsourcing or carrier vehicles to reposition bikes in the “right” stations in the “right” time, they did not jointly consider the usage of both bike trailers and carrier vehicles. In this paper, we aim to take advantage of both bike trailers and carrier vehicles to reduce the loss of demand by determining whether bike trailers or carrier vehicles (or both) should be used. In addition, we also would like to maximize the overall profit with regard to the crowdsourcing of bike trailers and the fuel cost of carrier vehicles. In the experiment, we exhibit that our approach outperforms baselines in multiple data sets from bike sharing companies.

The Bike Repositioning Problem (BRP) has raised many researchers? attention in recent years to improve the service quality of Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs). It is mainly about designing the routes and loading instructions for the vehicles to transfer bikes among stations in order to achieve a desirable state. This study tackles a static green BRP that aims to minimize the CO2 emissions of the repositioning vehicle besides achieving the target inventory level at stations as much as possible within the time budget. Two types of bikes are considered, including usable and broken bikes. The Enhanced Artificial Bee Colony (EABC) algorithm is adopted to generate the vehicle route. Two methods, namely heuristic and exact methods, are proposed and incorporated into the EABC algorithm to compute the loading/unloading quantities at each stop. Computational experiments were conducted on the real-world instances having 10?300 stations. The results indicate that the proposed solution methodology that relies on the heuristic loading method can provide optimal solutions for small instances. For large-scale instances, it can produce better feasible solutions than two benchmark methodologies in the literature.

Bike sharing systems are becoming more and more common around the world. One of the main difficulties is to ensure the availability of bicycles in order to satisfy users. To achieve this objective, managers of these systems set up rebalancing vehicles that displace bicycles to stations that are likely to be in a situation of bike shortage. In order to determine which stations must be supplied on a priority basis and the number of bicycles to be supplied (named in this paper as rebalancing plan), the aim is generally to reduce the lost demand for each station, i.e., the gap between the demand for bicycles and the number of bicycles at a station. On the one hand, this paper proposes an algorithm that evaluates the lost demand in a more realistic way, by describing the behaviour of users faced with a bike-shortage station. It takes into account the possibility that a proportion of users who cannot find bicycles will move to a neighbouring station that is not empty. This proportion depends on the distance between stations and corresponds to the number of users willing to walk a given distance to a neighbouring station. On the other hand, this algorithm provides the value of the objective function to be minimized to a static rebalancing plan algorithm based on a Random Search metaheuristic. The quantities of bicycles to be picked up and dropped off at each station are calculated in a static rebalancing context. The calculation of lost demand based on this algorithm, which simulates user behaviour, was compared with that one obtained by the classical method on a real numerical example obtained from the open data of Parisian Velib (more than 1200 stations). In addition, the efficiency of the rebalancing algorithm coupled with the user behaviour simulation algorithm was evaluated on this numerical example and allowed to obtain very good results compared to the rebalancing performed by the system operator.
自行车共享系统在世界各地越来越普遍。主要困难之一是确保自行车的可用性,以满足用户的需求。为了实现这一目标,这些系统的管理者建立了再平衡车辆,将自行车转移到可能处于自行车短缺状况的站点。为了确定哪些站点必须优先供应以及要供应的自行车数量(本文中称为再平衡计划),目的通常是减少每个站点的损失需求,即自行车需求与站点自行车数量之间的差距。一方面,本文提出了一种算法,通过描述面临自行车短缺站的用户的行为,以更现实的方式评估损失的需求。它考虑到了一部分找不到自行车的用户可能会搬到附近的非空站。该比例取决于站点之间的距离,并对应于愿意步行给定距离到达相邻站点的用户数量。另一方面,该算法将目标函数的值最小化为基于随机搜索元启发式的静态再平衡计划算法。每个站点上下车的自行车数量是在静态再平衡环境中计算的。基于该算法(模拟用户行为)的需求损失计算与经典方法计算的需求损失进行了比较,该方法基于从巴黎Velib(1200多个站点)的开放数据中获得的真实数值示例。此外,在该数值示例上评估了再平衡算法与用户行为模拟算法的效率,并且与系统操作员执行的再平衡相比,允许获得非常好的结果。

In this paper, a single-vehicle static partial repositioning problem (SPRP) is investigated, which distinguishes the user dissatisfaction generated by different stations. The overall objective of the SPRP is to minimize the weighted sum of the total operational time and the total absolute deviation from the target number of bikes at all stations. An iterated local search is developed to solve this problem. A novel loading and unloading quantity adjustment operator is proposed to further improve the quality of the solution. Experiments are conducted on a set of instances from 30 to 300 stations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed customized solution algorithm as well as the adjustment operator. Using a small example, this paper also reveals that the unit penalty cost has an effect on the repositioning strategies.

In the past few years, station-free bike sharing systems (SFBSSs) have been adopted in many cities worldwide. Different from conventional station-based bike sharing systems (SBBSSs) that rely upon fixed bike stations, SFBSSs allow users the flexibility to locate a bike nearby and park it at any appropriate site after use. With no fixed bike stations, the spatial extent/scale used to evaluate bike shortage/surplus in an SFBSS has been rather arbitrary in existing studies. On the one hand, a balanced status using large areas may contain multiple local bike shortage/surplus sites, leading to a less effective rebalancing design. On the other hand, an imbalance evaluation conducted in small areas may not be meaningful or necessary, while significantly increasing the computational complexity. In this study, we examine the impacts of analysis scale on the SFBSS imbalance evaluation and the associated rebalancing design. In particular, we develop a spatial optimization model to strategically optimize bike rebalancing in an SFBSS. We also propose a region decomposition method to solve large-sized bike rebalancing problems that are constructed based on fine analysis scales. We apply the approach to study the SFBSS in downtown Beijing. The empirical study shows that imbalance evaluation results and optimal rebalancing design can vary substantially with analysis scale. According to the optimal rebalancing results, bike repositioning tends to take place among neighboring areas. Based on the empirical study, we would recommend 800 m and 100/200 m as the suitable scale for designing operator-based and user-based rebalancing plans, respectively. Computational results show that the region decomposition method can be used to solve problems that cannot be handled by existing commercial optimization software. This study provides important insights into effective bike-share rebalancing strategies and urban bike transportation planning.
在过去几年中,全球许多城市都采用了无站共享单车系统(SFBSS)。与依赖固定自行车站点的传统基于站点的自行车共享系统(SBBSS)不同,SFBSS允许用户灵活地在附近定位自行车,并在使用后将其停放在任何合适的地点。由于没有固定的自行车站,在现有研究中,用于评估SFBSS中自行车短缺/过剩的空间范围/尺度相当随意。一方面,使用大面积的平衡状态可能包含多个本地自行车短缺/过剩站点,从而导致不太有效的再平衡设计。另一方面,在小范围内进行不平衡评估可能没有意义或必要,同时显著增加了计算复杂性。在本研究中,我们考察了分析规模对SFBSS失衡评估和相关再平衡设计的影响。特别是,我们开发了一个空间优化模型,以战略性地优化SFBSS中的自行车再平衡。我们还提出了一种区域分解方法来解决基于精细分析尺度构建的大型自行车再平衡问题。我们将该方法应用于北京市中心的SFBSS研究。实证研究表明,不平衡评估结果和最优再平衡设计会随着分析规模的变化而发生很大变化。根据最佳再平衡结果,自行车的重新定位往往发生在相邻地区。根据实证研究,我们将分别推荐800m和100/200m作为设计基于运营商和用户的再平衡计划的合适尺度。计算结果表明,区域分解方法可用于解决现有商业优化软件无法处理的问题。这项研究为有效的自行车共享再平衡策略和城市自行车交通规划提供了重要见解。

This paper addresses a static bike repositioning problem by embedding a short-term demand forecasting process, the Random Forest (RF) model, to account for the demand dynamics in the daytime. To tackle the heterogeneous repositioning fleets, a novel repositioning operation strategy constructed on the hub-and-spoke network framework is proposed. The repositioning optimization model is formulated using mixed-integer programming. An artificial bee colony algorithm, integrated with a commercial solver, is applied to address computational complexity. Experimental results show that the RF can achieve a high forecasting accuracy, and the proposed repositioning strategy can efficiently decrease the users’ dissatisfaction.

AB In this paper, a bike repositioning problem with stochastic demand is studied. The problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic programming model to optimize the routing and loading/unloading decisions of the repositioning truck at each station and depot under stochastic demands. The goal of the model is to minimize the expected total sum of the transportation costs, the expected penalty costs at all stations, and the holding cost of the depot. A simulated annealing algorithm is developed to solve the model. Numerical experiments are conducted on a set of instances from 20 to 90 stations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution algorithm and the accuracy of the proposed two-stage stochastic model.

AB Bike-sharing systems have become an established reality in cities all across theworld and are a key component of the Smart City paradigm. However, the unbalanced traffic patterns during rush hours can completely empty some stations, while filling others, and the service becomes unavailable for further users. The traditional approach to solve this problem is to use rebalancing trucks, which take bikes from full stations and deposit them at empty ones, reducing the likelihood of system outages. Another paradigm that is gaining steam is gamification, i.e., incentivizing users to fix the system by influencing their behavior with rewards and prizes. In this work, we combine the two efforts and show that a joint optimization considering both rebalancing and incentives results in a higher service quality for a lower cost than using simple rebalancing. We use simulations based on the New York CitiBike usage data to validate our model and analyze several schemes to optimize the bike-sharing system.
共享单车系统已成为世界各地城市的既定现实,是智慧城市模式的关键组成部分。然而,高峰时段不平衡的交通模式可能会完全清空一些车站,而填满其他车站,这项服务对更多的用户来说变得不可用。解决这一问题的传统方法是使用再平衡卡车,将自行车从满站取下并存放在空站,从而降低系统中断的可能性。另一个正在兴起的范式是游戏化,即通过奖励和奖品影响用户的行为来激励用户修复系统。在这项工作中,我们结合了这两种努力,并表明,与使用简单的再平衡相比,考虑再平衡和激励的联合优化可以以更低的成本获得更高的服务质量。我们使用基于纽约CitiBike使用数据的模拟来验证我们的模型,并分析优化共享单车系统的几个方案。

A knowledge based on these factors that rebalancing on a bike sharing system will work on to support cities to design an efficient service bike sharing system while decreasing re-balancing costs. We collect traffic-zone-level bike sharing usage data in Kunming, analyze the bike sharing time-variation and daily variation characteristics of arrivals and departures. Especially, we built multiple regression model to quantify effect of socio-demographic characteristics and land-use characteristics on time-variation and daily variation characteristics of arrivals and departures. We then define the absolute value of arrivals minus departures as balance index, and develop a binary logit model to estimate the influence of socio-demographic characteristics, land-use characteristics, and public transit characteristics on re-balancing. The results provide a basis for the re-balancing of a bike sharing system.

AB Historically performance of city services has mostly been evaluated from a performability perspective based on what is commonly understood as a quality of service (QoS) analysis. High values of QoS are generally perceived by systems owners as reflective of a high quality of experience (QoE) by the system users. Unfortunately, such a statement is many times untrue. There is a lack of connection between the user experience and the system performance. As such, and given the availability of social media data regarding the usage of services and experiences, this work presents a novel framework to bring together QoS and QoE analyses, to integrate performance metrics with user expectations of services. This framework is illustrated via the bicycle sharing program of New York City, Citibike, where the combination of both QoS and QoE provides insights into a variety of issues related to the city and the service itself.
从历史上看,城市服务的性能大多是从可执行性的角度进行评估的,其基础是通常所理解的服务质量(QoS)分析。系统所有者通常认为高QoS值反映了系统用户的高体验质量(QoE)。不幸的是,这种说法很多时候是不真实的。用户体验和系统性能之间缺乏联系。因此,考虑到有关服务使用和体验的社交媒体数据的可用性,这项工作提出了一个新的框架,将QoS和QoE分析结合起来,将性能指标与用户对服务的期望相结合。这一框架通过纽约市的自行车共享计划Citibike进行了说明,其中QoS和QoE的结合为与城市和服务本身相关的各种问题提供了见解

AB Shared bicycles provide a convenient mobility option to commuters especially for short-distance trips. Nevertheless, it also presents a challenge to bicycle-sharing operators as they have to deal with reallocation issues, i.e. removing bicycles from parking facilities which are at or near capacity and refilling parking facilities that are in need of bicycles. Few studies in the literature have actually tried understanding why certain docking stations are prone to excessive demand or suffer from a lack of parking supply. This paper attempts to identify the demographic, built-environment and transport-infrastructure indicators that can potentially aid policy-makers and operators in identifying parking facilities prone to bicycle reallocation. In particular, we have adopted the bicycle sharing operations in Nanjing, China as a case study to understand how such indicators can be identified for appropriate parking infrastructural enhancements. To achieve this goal, this study has established zero-inflated negative binomial models using multi-source data including point-of-interest (POI), daily weather, transit stop location, demographic data and bike-share smart card data. The model results obtained from this study suggest that built environment correlates significantly to shared bicycle reallocation count. In general, bicycle docking stations with large reallocation counts are more likely to be found near residences, bus stops, metro stations, employment areas, restaurants, amenities, parks, sports facilities, and clinics/hospitals; while stations near entertainment facilities, places of attraction, hotels, shopping malls, and educational institution tend to have balanced demand and supply. Analysis on the elasticity values revealed that mean temperature and station capacity are the most influential factors in bicycle reallocation. Among all POIs, presence of restaurants and areas with high employment tend to exhibit strongly a need for morning bicycle removal and evening bicycle refilling at docked stations. Policy makers can provide actual guidelines in the planning of shared bicycle parking facilities using the findings and methodologies presented in this study.
共享单车为通勤者提供了便捷的出行选择,尤其是短途旅行。然而,这也给自行车共享运营商带来了挑战,因为他们必须处理重新分配问题,即从容量或接近容量的停车设施中移除自行车,并重新填充需要自行车的停车设施。文献中很少有研究试图了解为什么某些停靠站容易出现过度需求或停车供应不足的问题。本文试图确定人口统计、建筑环境和交通基础设施指标,这些指标可能有助于决策者和运营商确定容易重新分配自行车的停车设施。特别是,我们采用了中国南京的自行车共享运营作为案例研究,以了解如何确定此类指标,以适当改善停车基础设施。为了实现这一目标,本研究使用包括兴趣点(POI)、每日天气、公交站点位置、人口统计数据和自行车共享智能卡数据在内的多源数据建立了零膨胀负二项模型。从本研究中获得的模型结果表明,建筑环境与共享自行车重新分配数量显著相关。一般而言,在住宅、公交车站、地铁站、就业区、餐厅、便利设施、公园、体育设施和诊所/医院附近更容易发现重新分配数量较大的自行车停靠站;而靠近娱乐设施、景点、酒店、购物中心和教育机构的车站往往需求和供应平衡。对弹性值的分析表明,平均温度和站点容量是自行车重新分配的最影响因素。在所有POI中,餐馆和就业率高的地区往往强烈需要在停靠站拆除早晨的自行车和晚上的自行车。政策制定者可以使用本研究中提出的研究结果和方法,为共享自行车停车设施的规划提供实际指导。

AB We investigate opportunities offered by telematics and analytics to enable better informed, and more integrated, collaborative management decisions across construction sites. We focus on efficient refuelling of assets across construction sites. More specifically, we develop decision support models that, by leveraging data supplied by different assets, schedule refuelling operations by minimising the distance travelled by the refuelling truck - the so-called “bowser” - as well as fuel shortages. Motivated by a practical case study elicited in the context of a project we recently conducted at Crossrail, we introduce the Dynamic Bowser Routing Problem. In this problem the decision maker aims to dynamically refuel, by dispatching a bowser truck, a set of assets which consume fuel and whose location changes over time; the goal is to ensure that assets do not run out of fuel and that the bowser covers the minimum possible distance. We investigate deterministic and stochastic variants of this problem and introduce effective and scalable mathematical programming models to tackle these cases. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches in the context of an extensive computational study designed around data collected on site. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Access to good benchmark instances is always desirable when developing new algorithms, new constraint models, or when comparing existing ones. Hand-written instances are of limited utility and are time-consuming to produce. A common method for generating instances is constructing special purpose programs for each class of problems. This can be better than manually producing instances, but developing such instance generators also has drawbacks. In this paper, we present a method for generating graded instances completely automatically starting from a class-level problem specification. A graded instance in our present setting is one which is neither too easy nor too difficult for a given solver. We start from an abstract problem specification written in the Essence language and provide a system to transform the problem specification, via automated type-specific rewriting rules, into a new abstract specification which we call a generator specification. The generator specification is itself parameterised by a number of integer parameters; these are used to characterise a certain region of the parameter space. The solutions of each such generator instance form valid problem instances. We use the parameter tuner irace to explore the space of possible generator parameters, aiming to find parameter values that yield graded instances. We perform an empirical evaluation of our system for five problem classes from CSPlib, demonstrating promising results.

在开发新算法、新约束模型或比较现有算法时,总是需要访问良好的基准实例。手写实例的实用性有限,制作耗时。生成实例的一种常见方法是为每类问题构造专用程序。这可能比手动生成实例更好,但开发这样的实例生成器也有缺点。在本文中,我们提出了一种从类级问题规范开始完全自动生成分级实例的方法。我们当前设置中的分级实例对于给定的解算器来说既不太容易也不太困难。我们从用Essence语言编写的抽象问题规范开始,并提供一个系统,通过自动类型特定的重写规则将问题规范转换为新的抽象规范,我们称之为生成器规范。发电机规格本身由多个整数参数参数化;这些用于表征参数空间的特定区域。每个这样的生成器实例的解决方案形成有效的问题实例。我们使用参数调谐器irace来探索可能的生成器参数空间,旨在找到生成分级实例的参数值。我们对CSPlib中的五个问题类进行了系统的实证评估,证明了有希望的结果。

AB Bike Sharing Systems (BSS) are implemented in numerous cities around the world. The users’ satisfaction is directly affected by the availability of bicycles and docking points at the stations. The assessment of users’ satisfaction is an important issue to enable the system manager to understand, manage and improve the service quality of the BSS. This paper proposes to define an aggregated performance indicator for BSS stations. This indicator allows to measure the station criticality by integrating the unavailability of bikes and dockings of this station, and also of the neighboring stations. The integration of neighboring stations will be defined according to the distance that users is willing to walk to reach them. This indicator is applied to a part of Velib’ system and will be analyzed in relation to a non-aggregated criticality indicator. The proposed aggregated criticality indicator can be implemented, for example, to define priority stations to be rebalanced by rebalancing operations. Open data, over a six weeks period, from JCDecaux (Velib’ operator) was used to implement this study.

AB Most production and inventory models address either demand or supply uncertainty. When both uncertainties are involved, intermediary inventory stock usually serves as a buffering mechanism so that they are dealt with separately. In this paper, we address a new problem of directly matching uncertain demand with uncertain supply that arises in the dynamic bike balancing problem of bike sharing systems. We show that it is not optimal for the bike stock in any station to be less than a certain floor threshold or more than a certain upper threshold when the dual performance measures of bike utilization and lost customers are considered. We next construct a threshold-based Integer Programming model for dynamic balancing. Through numerical examples, we find that the problem is characterized by many multiple optimal solutions, which lead to dispersed transfers of bikes, but this imperfection is resolved by ranking and re-sequencing candidate transfers in an enhancing step. By using random numerical cases, we compare the merits of the model with a mean-value model, and assess its capability of prepositioning bikes to hedge the uncertainty. This paper contributes to the methodology of matching uncertain demand with uncertain supply.

AB In this paper, by taking the outsourcing transportation mode into account, a bilevel programming model is proposed to formulate the static bike repositioning (SBR) problem, which can be used to determine the number of bikes loaded and unloaded at each station and the optimal truck routes in bike sharing systems (BSS). The upper-level BSS providers determine the optimal loading and unloading quantities at stations to minimize the total penalties. The lower-level truck owner pursues the minimum transportation route cost. An iterated local search and tabu search are developed to solve the model. Computational tests on a set of instances from 20 to 200 bikes demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and algorithms proposed, together with some insightful findings.

AB The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (EVRPTW) extends traditional vehicle routing to address the recent development of electric vehicles (EVs). In addition to traditional VRP problem components, the problem includes consideration of vehicle battery levels, limited vehicle range due to battery capacity, and the presence of vehicle recharging stations. The problem is related to others in emissions-conscious routing such as the Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP). We propose the first constraint programming (CP) approaches for modeling and solving the EVRPTW and compare them to an existing mixed-integer linear program (MILP). Our initial CP model follows the alternative resource approach previously applied to routing problems, while our second CP model utilizes a single resource transformation. Experimental results on various objectives demonstrate the superiority of the single resource transformation over the alternative resource model, for all problem classes, and over MILP, for the majority of medium-to-large problem classes. We also present a hybrid MILP-CP approach that outperforms the other techniques for distance minimization problems over long scheduling horizons, a class that CP struggles with on its own.

AB Bike-Sharing Systems (BSSs) and environmental concerns have been receiving increasing popularity in transportation operations. In BSSs, the distribution of bike demand often mismatches with bike supply and there are broken bikes. Usable bikes are needed to redistribute between stations to satisfy the demand and all broken bikes need to be carried back to the depot for repairs. Both types of bikes are often transported by fossil-fueled vehicles but using these vehicles for the operation may damage the environmental creditability of BSSs. A methodology is needed to mitigate the environmental impact of this operation.
This study aims to propose a methodology to reposition both good and broken bikes in a bike-sharing network in order to achieve a perfect balance between bike demand and supply at each station and make sure that all broken bikes are moved back to the depot. The objective of this repositioning operation is to minimize the total CO2 emissions of all repositioning vehicles. A Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) model is presented to formulate the problem mentioned above and a commercial solver is used to solve it for small applications. Using example applications, problem characteristics and the factors that affect the CO2 emissions are discussed. The results indicate that allowing multiple visits can reduce vehicle emissions. Moreover, when the percentage of broken bikes in the system increases, the CO2 emissions increase. Furthermore, if there is a tolerance for meeting the demand target, when this tolerance increases, the CO2 emissions decrease. In addition, when the distance of a link in an optimal route increases, the resultant emissions may remain unchanged. Besides, when the vehicle capacity increases, the CO2 emissions decrease. The real world instances of Citybike Vienna are used to compare emission and distance minimization solutions and investigate the runtime complexity of the proposed model. The results demonstrate that a shorter distance may not necessarily lead to lower emissions. The results also show that as the number of vehicles increases, the total emissions and runtime increase. A clustering method based on the nearest neighbor heuristic together with a commercial solver is used to solve a large real-world instance. This result confirms the possibility of using the clustering approach to reduce the running time for large network instances with multiple vehicles.
自行车共享系统(BSS)和环境问题在交通运营中日益受到欢迎。在BSS中,自行车需求的分布往往与自行车供应不匹配,并且有坏自行车。可用的自行车需要在各个站点之间重新分配,以满足需求,所有损坏的自行车都需要运回仓库进行维修。这两种类型的自行车通常由化石燃料车辆运输,但使用这些车辆进行操作可能会损害BSS的环境信誉。需要一种方法来减轻该操作的环境影响。
本研究旨在提出一种方法,以重新定位共享单车网络中的好自行车和坏自行车,从而在每个站点实现自行车需求和供应之间的完美平衡,并确保所有坏自行车都被送回停车场。该重新定位操作的目标是将所有重新定位车辆的总CO2排放量降至最低。提出了一个混合整数线性规划(MILP)模型来表达上述问题,并使用商业求解器来解决小应用中的问题。通过实例应用,讨论了问题特征和影响CO2排放的因素。结果表明,允许多次访问可以减少车辆排放。此外,当系统中坏自行车的百分比增加时,二氧化碳排放量也会增加。此外,如果存在满足需求目标的公差,则当该公差增加时,CO2排放量减少。此外,当最佳路线中的路段距离增加时,产生的排放量可能保持不变。此外,当车辆容量增加时,CO2排放量减少。Citybike Vienna的真实世界实例用于比较排放和距离最小化解决方案,并研究所提出模型的运行时复杂性。结果表明,较短的距离不一定会导致较低的排放。结果还表明,随着车辆数量的增加,总排放量和运行时间都会增加。基于最近邻启发式的聚类方法与商业求解器一起用于求解大型真实世界实例。该结果证实了使用聚类方法来减少具有多个车辆的大型网络实例的运行时间的可能性。

AB In this paper, a bike repositioning problem with multiple depots, multiple visits, and multiple heterogeneous vehicles for the free-floating bike-sharing system (FFBSS) is studied. Two types of nodes (i.e., easily and hardly access nodes) with different penalties are defined to represent different convenience levels of getting bikes from the FFBSS. The objective of the repositioning is to minimize the weighted sum of the inconvenience level of getting bikes from the system and the total unmet demand and the total operational time. To solve this problem, an enhanced version of chemical reaction optimization (CRO) is developed. A loading and unloading quantity adjustment procedure with the consideration of the node characteristics, including the type of node and its current state (i.e., in a balanced, surplus, or deficit state) is proposed and incorporated into this version to improve its solution quality. A concept of the nearby-node set is also proposed to narrow the search space. Numerical results are presented and indicate that compared to the traditional CRO and CPLEX, the enhanced CRO improves solution quality and has potential to tackle the repositioning problem for larger, longer repositioning duration, and more vehicle instances. The results also demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adjustment procedure.

The problem is to balance a network consisting of a set of stations by using a single vehicle, with the aim of minimizing the weighted sum of the waiting times during which some stations remain imbalanced. Motivated by the complexity of this problem, we propose a two-stage procedure based on decomposition. First, the network is divided into multiple zones by using two different clustering strategies. Then, the balancing problem is solved in each zone. Finally, the order in which the zones must be visited is defined.

AB This study investigates a bike repositioning problem (BRP) that determines the routes of the repositioning vehicles and the loading and unloading quantities at each bike station to firstly minimize the positive deviation from the tolerance of total demand dissatisfaction (TDD) and then service time. The total demand dissatisfaction of a bike-sharing system in this study is defined as the sum of the difference between the bike deficiency and unloading quantity of each station in the system. Two service times are considered: the total service time and the maximum route duration of the fleet. To reduce the computation time to solve the loading and unloading sub-problem of the BRP, this study examines a novel set of loading and unloading strategies and further proves them to be optimal for a given route. This set of strategies is then embedded into an enhanced artificial bee colony algorithm to solve the BRP. The numerical results demonstrate that a larger fleet size may not lead to a lower total service time but can effectively lead to a lower maximum route duration at optimality. The results also illustrate the trade-offs between the two service times, between total demand dissatisfaction and total service time, and between the number of operating vehicles provided and the TDD. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the optimal values of the two service times can increase with the TDD and introducing an upper bound on one service time can reduce the optimal value of the other service time. © 2018 The Authors.

AB Bike-sharing services are flourishing in Smart Cities worldwide. They provide a low-cost and environment-friendly transportation alternative and help reduce traffic congestion. However, these new services are still under development, and several challenges need to be solved. A major problem is the management of rebalancing trucks in order to ensure that bikes and stalls in the docking stations are always available when needed, despite the fluctuations in the service demand. In this work, we propose a dynamic rebalancing strategy that exploits historical data to predict the network conditions and promptly act in case of necessity. We use Birth-Death Processes to model the stations’ occupancy and decide when to redistribute bikes, and graph theory to select the rebalancing path and the stations involved. We validate the proposed framework on the data provided by New York City’s bike-sharing system. The numerical simulations show that a dynamic strategy able to adapt to the fluctuating nature of the network outperforms rebalancing schemes based on a static schedule.

AB Modern bike sharing system, in which bikes can be parked freely, extends the flexibility of traditional bike sharing system and thus has greatly facilitated urban transportation. However, the balance of such system is often broken by the user behaviors. And how to manage a large number of bikes which parked randomly in a city is a difficult problem. To tackle this problem, we propose a two-step solution. First, we deal with the bike trajectory data and design the Spatial-Temporal Bike Flow Prediction (ST-BFP) model, which is a convolutional network based on residual framework with history external factors to predict the bike flows. Second, to make the system return to balance state as soon as possible, we propose an Improved Local Search Algorithm (ILSA) for path planning with multiple carriers based on forecast result, which schedules multiple carriers in real time to complete the rebalance task collaboratively. Finally, we validate our model and algorithm via realdata based experiment. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can balance the entire system efficiently.

AB This paper presents two stochastic bike deployment (SBD) models that determine the optimal number of bicycles allocated to each station in a leisure-oriented public bicycle rental system with stochastic demands. The SBD models represent the stochastic demands using a set of scenarios with given probabilities. A multilayer bike-flow time-space network is constructed for developing the models, where each layer corresponds to a given demand scenario and effectively describes bicycle flows in the spatial and temporal dimensions. As a result, the models are formulated as the integer multi-commodity network flow problem, which is characterized as NP-hard. We propose a heuristic to efficiently obtain good quality solutions for large-size model instances.

AB Routing problems appear in many practical applications. In the context of Constraint Programming, circuit constraints have been successfully developed to handle problems like the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem or the Vehicle Routing Problem. These kind of constraints are linked to the search for a Hamiltonian circuit in a graph. In this paper we consider a more general multiple tour problem that consists in covering a part of the graph with a set of minimal cost circuits. We define a new global constraint WEIGHTEDSUBCIRCUITS that generalizes the WeightedCircuit constraint by releasing the need to obtain a Hamiltonian circuit. It enforces multiple disjoint circuits of bounded total cost to partially cover a weighted graph, the subsets of vertices to be covered being induced by external constraints. We show that enforcing Bounds Consistency for WeightedSubCircuits is NP-hard. We propose an incomplete but polynomial filtering method based on the search for a lower bound of a weighted Steiner circuit.
路由问题出现在许多实际应用中。在约束编程的背景下,电路约束已经被成功地开发,以处理诸如众所周知的旅行推销员问题或车辆路线问题之类的问题。这些约束与在图中搜索哈密顿回路有关。在本文中,我们考虑一个更一般的多重旅行问题,即用一组最小成本电路覆盖图的一部分。我们定义了一个新的全局约束WEIGHTEDSUBCIRCUITS,该约束通过释放获得哈密顿电路的需要来推广WeightedCircuit约束。它强制总成本有界的多个不相交电路部分覆盖加权图,要覆盖的顶点子集由外部约束诱导。我们证明了加强加权子电路的边界一致性是NP困难的。我们提出了一种基于搜索加权Steiner电路下界的不完全多项式滤波方法。

AB Faced with increasing population density, rising traffic congestion, and the resulting upsurge in carbon emissions, several urban metropolitan areas have instituted public bicycle sharing system as a viable alternative mode of transportation to complement existing long-distance bus- and metro-transit systems. A pressing issue that needs to be addressed in bike sharing systems is the accrued imbalance of bicycles between commuter demands and inventory levels at stations. To overcome this issue, a commonly employed strategy is to reposition bicycles during off-peak periods (typically at night) when no new user arrivals are expected. However, when such an imbalance occurs during day-time peak hours, such a passive strategy would result in lower resource utilization rates. To overcome this drawback, in this study, we propose a dynamic bicycle repositioning methodology that considers inventory level forecasting, user arrivals forecasting, bicycle repositioning, and vehicle routing in a unified manner. A multi-commodity time-space network flow model is presented, which results in an underlying complex nonlinear optimization problem. This problem is then reformulated into an equivalent mixed-integer problem using a model transformation approach and a novel heuristic algorithm is proposed to efficiently solve this model. Specifically, the first stage involves solving the linear relaxation of the MIP model, and a set covering problem is subsequently solved in the second stage to assign routes to the repositioning vehicles. The proposed methodology is evaluated using standard test-bed instances from the literature, and our numerical results reveal that the heuristic algorithm can achieve a significant reduction in rejected user requests when compared to existing methods, while yet expending only minimal computational effort. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

面对日益增加的人口密度、日益严重的交通拥堵以及由此产生的碳排放激增,一些城市大都会地区已经建立了公共自行车共享系统,作为一种可行的替代交通方式,以补充现有的长途公共汽车和地铁交通系统。共享单车系统需要解决的一个紧迫问题是,通勤需求和车站库存水平之间的自行车累积失衡。为了克服这一问题,通常采用的策略是在非高峰时段(通常在夜间)重新定位自行车,因为预计不会有新的用户到达。然而,当这种不平衡发生在白天高峰时段时,这种被动策略将导致资源利用率降低。为了克服这一缺陷,在本研究中,我们提出了一种动态自行车重新定位方法,该方法以统一的方式考虑库存水平预测、用户到达预测、自行车重新定位和车辆路线。提出了一种多商品时空网络流模型,该模型导致了一个潜在的复杂非线性优化问题。然后使用模型变换方法将该问题重新表述为等效的混合整数问题,并提出了一种新的启发式算法来有效地解决该模型。具体地,第一阶段涉及解决MIP模型的线性松弛,并且随后在第二阶段中解决集合覆盖问题,以向重新定位的车辆分配路线。使用文献中的标准试验台实例对所提出的方法进行了评估,我们的数值结果表明,与现有方法相比,启发式算法可以显著减少被拒绝的用户请求,同时只花费最小的计算工作量。(C) 2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。

AB Maintaining a balance between revenue and expenditure is the key to the sustainable development of a bicycle sharing system (BSS), and is a challenge for almost all systems worldwide. This article proposes a dynamic programming approach to obtain the optimal strategy to maximize the revenue of overall BSS. The Variable Granularity-Depth First Search (VG-DFS) algorithm is designed to speed up the solution. A numerical experiment is presented to verify the applicability of the model through a comparison with real data from the BSS in Hangzhou. Results indicated that the BSS could achieve break-even, or even obtain a substantial income by utilizing our model to make operational decisions, especially when the region it is located in has a relatively high GDP. Moreover, the best investment strategy proved is to involve stations in the initial construction period of the BSS as much as possible.

AB Operating a Bicycle Sharing System over some time without the operator’s intervention causes serious imbalances, which prevents the rental of bikes at some stations and the return at others. To cope with such problems, user-based bicycle rebalancing approaches offer incentives to influence the users’ behavior in an appropriate way. In this paper, an event-driven agent architecture is proposed, which uses Complex Event Processing to predict the future demand at the bike stations using live data about the users. The predicted demands are used to derive situation-aware incentives that are offered by the affected stations. Furthermore, it is shown how bike stations cooperate to prevent that they outbid each other.

AB Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) are widely adopted in major cities of the world due to concerns associated with extensive private vehicle usage, namely, increased carbon emissions, traffic congestion and usage of non-renewable resources. In a BSS, base stations are strategically placed throughout a city and each station is stocked with a pre-determined number of bikes at the beginning of the day. Customers hire the bikes from one station and return them at another station. Due to unpredictable movements of customers hiring bikes, there is either congestion (more than required) or starvation (fewer than required) of bikes at base stations. Existing data has shown that congestion/starvation is a common phenomenon that leads to a large number of unsatisfied customers resulting in a significant loss in customer demand. In order to tackle this problem, we propose an optimisation formulation to reposition bikes using vehicles while also considering the routes for vehicles and future expected demand. Furthermore, we contribute two approaches that rely on decomposability in the problem (bike repositioning and vehicle routing) and aggregation of base stations to reduce the computation time significantly. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our approach by comparing against two benchmark approaches on two real-world data sets of bike sharing systems. These approaches are evaluated using a simulation where the movements of customers are generated from real-world data sets.
自行车共享系统(BSS)在世界主要城市被广泛采用,原因是与大量私人车辆使用相关的担忧,即碳排放增加、交通拥堵和不可再生资源的使用。在BSS中,基站被战略性地放置在整个城市,每个基站在一天开始时都储备有预定数量的自行车。客户从一个站点租用自行车,然后在另一个站点归还。由于租用自行车的客户不可预测的移动,基站的自行车要么拥挤(超过要求),要么匮乏(低于要求)。现有数据表明,拥挤/饥饿是一种常见现象,会导致大量不满意的客户,从而导致客户需求的严重损失。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个优化公式,以重新定位使用车辆的自行车,同时考虑车辆的路线和未来的预期需求。此外,我们提出了两种方法,它们依赖于问题中的可分解性(自行车重新定位和车辆路线)和基站的聚合来显著减少计算时间。最后,我们通过在共享单车系统的两个真实数据集上与两个基准方法进行比较,证明了我们方法的实用性。这些方法使用模拟进行评估,其中客户的移动是从真实世界数据集生成的。

Our solver supports both single-day and multi-day scenarios and a variety of real-world aspects including time window constraints, compatibility constraints, and split deliveries. It can be used both to plan the daily delivery operations, and to inform decisions on the long-term fleet composition. We show experimentally the viability of our approach.

AB Redistribution is an important part of operational activities in a bicycle sharing system (BSS). This paper proposes that there are two types of users in a BSS: leisure travelers and commuters. The operators and the government are adopting the bidirectional incentive model (BIM) to improve their service level of redistribution. That is, the BIM stimulates leisure travelers to actively respond to bicycle resetting needs of the system; on the other hand, it guides commuters by encouraging them to avoid travelling in peak periods. This is beneficial to achieve the goals of reducing the scheduling pressure on bicycles during rush hour, and even to realize the self-resetting of the BSS. In this paper, we explore three scenarios for implementing BIM through cooperation between the operator and the government. By exploiting Stackelberg games in all models, we illustrate the quantity of users in three different travel behaviors, and surplus value of these users respectively. We also consider the trend of the profit of the operator and the government when some changes of parameters are made. The numerical analysis and case discussion find that the strategy of the operator implementing BIM with a subsidy is the best method for developed regions. In a developing region, the strategy of implementing the BIM with a direct government subsidy to users is the best choice in a small or tourist city. In these cities, the proportion of leisure travelers is always larger than 50%, resulting in a significant incentive effect. The strategy of the operator implementing BIM without a subsidy is the best choice for the large and medium-sized city.
再分配是自行车共享系统(BSS)运营活动的重要组成部分。本文提出BSS中有两种类型的用户:休闲旅行者和通勤者。运营商和政府正在采用双向激励模型(BIM),以提高其再分配服务水平。也就是说,BIM刺激休闲旅行者积极响应系统的自行车重置需求;另一方面,它通过鼓励通勤者避免在高峰时段出行来引导他们。这有利于实现减少高峰时段自行车调度压力的目标,甚至实现BSS的自动重置。在本文中,我们探讨了通过运营商和政府之间的合作实施BIM的三种场景。通过在所有模型中使用Stackelberg游戏,我们分别说明了三种不同旅行行为中的用户数量以及这些用户的剩余价值。我们还考虑了当参数发生一些变化时,运营商和政府的利润趋势。数值分析和案例讨论发现,运营商利用补贴实施BIM的策略是发达地区的最佳方法。在一个发展中的地区,在一个小城市或旅游城市中,实施BIM并向用户提供政府直接补贴的策略是最佳选择。在这些城市,休闲旅行者的比例始终大于50%,从而产生了显著的激励效应。运营商在无补贴的情况下实施BIM的策略是大中型城市的最佳选择。
