Abstract

Todays' bike sharing system (BSS) as a non-motorised transportation system and compatible with the environment has attracted a lot of attention in the field of public transportation. One of the issues that has been considered by some researchers in recent years is bike sharing rebalancing problem that is related to the provision of the required bike for stations and their inventory management. The proposed model is an integer nonlinear programming that is able to rebalance BSS by considering the appropriate inventory policies. The purpose of this model is finding optimal routes for the fleet of vehicles (trucks) and using the suitable trucks to traverse these routes and minimising costs of rebalancing operations in multiple periods. The efficiency of the model is proved by solving two numerical examples by the GAMS software.
