  • It is difficult for operators to effectively solve the profitable difficulty caused by the imbalanced distribution of shared vehicles when considering staff-based and customer-based relocation alone. Thus, based on the traditional space-time network, the impact of time-varying road congestion and trip demands on the operation is considered. Based on C# language and O2DES (object-oriented discrete event simulation) framework, an efficient carsharing system model composed of modular station and road segment models is built. Moreover, a simulation-optimization model that jointly determines vehicle inventory thresholds and trip pricing is proposed to maximize the daily net revenue of operators. In order to solve the global optimization problem in a random environment, an elitist genetic algorithm (EGA) with optimal computing budget allocation (OCBA) is designed. Finally, a case study in Chengdu with five sites is conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation-optimization model. The results show that with the same fleet size, the optimal design can increase the average daily net revenue by 10.37%−162.30% compared with customer-based relocation (fixed pricing); the optimized scheme can increase the profit by 15.34% compared with separate staff-based relocation.
