Demand Management of Station-Based Car Sharing System Based on Deep Learning Forecasting

الملخص EN

Metropolitan development has motivated car sharing into an attractive type of car leasing with the help of information technologies.

In this paper, we propose a new approach based on deep learning techniques to assess the operation of a station-based car sharing system.

First, we analyse the pick-up and drop-off operations of the station-based car sharing system, capturing the operational features of car sharing service and the behaviours of vehicle use from a temporal perspective.

Then, we introduced an analytical system to detect the system operation concerning the spontaneous deviations derived from user demands from service provisions.

We employed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) structure to forecast short-term future vehicle uses.

An experimental case based on real-world data is reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

The results prove that the proposed structure generates high-quality predictions and the operation status derived from user demands.
