Abstract

This paper selects possible relocation scenarios for electric vehicle sharing systems and measures the service ratio through our analysis framework. The experiment exploits the actual trip records collected in a taxi telematics system in Jeju city area as future sharing demand. Its goals include testing the validity of the analysis framework for a sharing system design as well as discovering the behavioral characteristics in basic relocation policies to take into account when designing a new sophisticated relocation scheme. The sharing performance is measured for even, utilization-based, and morning-focused schemes based on the assumption that the relocation is carried out during the non-operation hours. The performance analysis results find out that it is useful to focus on the pick-up requests during the first few hours after the operation starts and that it is necessary to develop a prediction-based proactive relocation scheme to cope with request fluctuation in the airport area.

This research was supported by the MKE (The Ministry of Knowledge Economy), Republic of Korea, under IT/SW Creative research program supervised by the NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) (NIPA-2012-(H0502-12-1002)).
