Abstract
One of the most significant issues when designing a carsharing system is the decision of
implementing a free-floating or stations-based system. The advantages and drawbacks of
each system are well known. Free-floating systems provide more accessibility to users. But
they are more sensible to demand imbalance and can be limited if public space availability
is restricted by municipalities. Station-based don’t need public space occupation, but the
station infrastructure requires more investment. The authors have developed a macroscopic
design model that considers the case of a mixed carsharing system, which includes both freefloating
and station-based options working together. This model not only allows to compare
which option will perform better on any given scenario, but also to provide solutions that
combine the accessibility and cheapness of free-floating with the lack of public space
limitations of station-based systems. This document describes that model and shows its
application to a case of study.
