Vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) allow users to rent vehicles for a short period of time, in a more flexible and convenient manner compared to the traditional vehicle rental services. The long-term VSS subscription replaces the need for contract signing for ...
EPFL2023Optimizing the utilization of existing vehicle flows in last-mile passenger transport and logistics systems
Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink
The new era of shared economy has raised our expectations to make mobility more sustainable through better utilization of existing resources and capacity. In this thesis, we focus on the design of transport systems that stimulate multi-purpose trips with t ...
EPFL2023A general framework to evaluate different rebalancing operations strategies in one-way car sharing systems
Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Selin Ataç
Car sharing systems (CSSs) are one of the environmentally beneficial solutions in urban transportation. However, the operators still struggle to make these systems profitable. One of the main contributors in operational cost is rebalancing operations. Ther ...
Springer2023Cycling Interaction Rituals in the Conflict against the Car. From the Bike Subculture to the City Scale and Beyond
Mobility scholars have long been interested in challenging the automobile's hegemony in the street, particularly by highlighting how to develop urban cycling. The article contributes to this task by explaining how one type of conflict between the bike and ...

The surge of Mobility on Demand (MoD) is largely attributed to advancements in mobile internet and technology. Ridesourcing platforms, among other solution services, offer convenience and flexibility when it comes to pick-up/drop-off time and location, all ...
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine2022Predictive user-based relocation through incentives in one-way car-sharing systems
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink
Car-sharing systems are an attractive alternative to private vehicles due to their benefits in terms of mobility and sustainability. However, the distribution of vehicles throughout the network in one-way systems is disturbed due to asymmetry and stochasti ...
2021Optimization of operational decisions for on-demand shared mobility systems
Martin Jean Marie Joseph Repoux
This thesis introduces new operational management policies for two types of on-demand shared mobility systems, the now well-studied one-way carsharing systems and a new innovative semi-autonomous last-mile transportation system. In addition, two associated ...
