Abstract

This study considers multiple depots, heterogeneous trucks and multiple visiting in a static bike rebalancing optimization problem with malfunctioning bikes in free-floating bike sharing system. An integer linear programming model is established for this problem and an effective greedy-genetic heuristic is developed to solve it. Share-A-Bull shared bicycle system is used to test the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Divvy bike sharing system is utilized to test a large-scale instance in real life, quantify the benefits of this comprehensive repositioning strategy compared with separate repositioning strategy, and analyze some special properties of this comprehensive operation.
