Abstract

Car sharing has become an increasingly popular mode of travel. This paper provides a comprehensive literature survey on relocation optimization for shared electric vehicles. The literature is reviewed and categorized based on two types of relocation: static and dynamic relocation. Static relocation is analyzed in terms of operator-based relocation and user-based relocation, while dynamic relocation is analyzed in terms of four methodologies: optimization models, simulations, multi-stage methods, and deep reinforcement learning. The paper finally provides some interesting future research topics, such as considering the nonlinear charging process of electric vehicles in the process of constructing relocation optimization models and designing algorithms for shared electric vehicles.
Keywords: relocation; shared electric vehicles; optimization; review relocation; shared electric vehicles; optimization; review
