Abstract
AbstractThis study presents a cooperative car‐sharing system in which various service providers jointly operate a sharing service. A distributed algorithm is proposed for rebalancing control to reduce deadhead vehicles as much as possible under the constraints of dispatchable vehicles and parking slots at car stations. Each provider cooperatively searches for the optimal solution by exchanging the estimated values of the optimal dual solutions over the communication networks between providers. Event‐driven communication is considered in which information exchange with the neighboring providers is performed only when the amount of change of the estimated optimal dual solution exceeds a threshold. Numerical instances explain that the estimations of all service providers meet the optimal rebalancing solutions.
