This study aims to explore factors that affect carsharing demand characteristics in different time periods based on EVCARD transaction data, which is the largest station-based one-way carsharing program in Shanghai, China. Monthly usage intensity and degree of usage imbalance are used as proxies of demand. This study uses three groups of independent variables: carsharing station attributes, built environment (density, diversity, design, and destination accessibility), and transportation facilities. The adaptive elastic net regression is developed to identify factors that influence carsharing usage intensity and degree of usage imbalance after factor selection using extra-randomized-tree algorithm. Finally, a station layout is proposed according to both usage intensity and degree of imbalance. The main results of this study are presented as follows: (1) different effects of built environment and transportation factors cause dynamic demand across different time periods; (2) factors with positive and negative effect on carsharing demand are divided clearly for guidance of the carsharing station layout; (3) public parking space leads to more personal vehicle trip compared to a carsharing trip; and (4) as public transportation, the relationship of the metro and carsharing is complementary. However, the bus stop and carsharing have a competitive relationship. This study provides a carsharing layout method based on both usage intensity and degree of imbalance. Furthermore, several policies concerning carsharing are proposed.

“…The above analysis reveals that most of the existing studies have focused on the benefit evaluation of CS systems including social, economic, and environmental benefits to society and consumers, especially from the environmental aspect where they have tried to explore whether CS can contribute to emissions reduction, traffic congestion alleviation, or travel cost reductions. In addition, most research has selected the one-way station-based CS modality as the research object and the other two modalities (i.e., round-trip station-based CS modality and free-floating CS modality) are less studied [42]. Like most of the previous literature, this paper also focused on the one-way modality.…”

“…Among these fields, the VD has played an important role in the location allocation of facilities [41]. For a one-way CS system, planning the location of stations is a very important factor influencing its operation efficiency, as described above, and its importance will become more prominent for a one-way ECSS [42]. However, a cost-benefit analysis can only provide economic criteria for distributing the geographic location of car-sharing stations and is hardly able to provide judgement criteria for location distribution from a geographical perspective.…”

The combination of car-sharing and electric vehicles can increase the acceptance of electric vehicles and facilitate car-sharing to be a more sustainable means of transport. However, this also poses more challenges for the good planning of electric car-sharing systems. To assist car-sharing companies in improving the planning decisions, this paper developed an evaluation framework from a comprehensive view. In the first step, four evaluation criteria were identified according to the planning process: construction of stations; routine inspection; vehicle usability and relocation management; and the maintenance and replacement of stations. Then, a combinatorial method based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), cost-benefit analysis (CBA), and Voronoi diagram (VD) is developed to determine the relative weight of the four criteria and evaluate the alternative. Finally, the evaluation framework was applied in a realistic case of EVCARD, which is the most influential electric car-sharing company in China. The performance of two different operational districts of EVCARD—Jingan and Changning—were compared. The results showed that vehicle usability and relocation management is the greatest criterion influencing the planning performance of the electric car-sharing system in China, and that routine inspection is a negligible but important factor. According to the relative scores, Jiagan District performed better than Changning district.

“…Shaheen and Chan [6] discussed the evolution and feasibility of electric vehicle in car sharing business models. Ferrero et al [7], [8] reviewed different car sharing systems in terms of their business models and modes of operation. However, none of the above work has explored the idea of physical keyless car sharing systems.…”

Abstract-This paper proposes a novel physical keyless car sharing system where users can use and share their cars without the need of physical keys. It also provides a comprehensive security and privacy analysis of such a system. It first presents a high-level model for a keyless car sharing system, describing its main entities and specifying the necessary functional requirements to allow users to share their cars (with other users) without exchanging physical keys. Based on this model and functional requirements, the paper presents a comprehensive threat analysis of the system. It focuses on the threats affecting the system's security and the users' privacy. This analysis results in a specification of an extensive set of security and privacy requirements for the system. This work can be used as a guide for a future keyless car sharing system design and as a mean to assess the security and privacy risks imposed on users by such systems.
