摘要

In this study, we formulate and analyze a strategic design model for public bicycle distribution systems with strategic and operational concerns simultaneously. The key design decisions considered are: the number and locations of maintenance centers, the number of transport vehicles and which vehicle should be dispatched at which open maintenance center, the vehicle routing between open maintenance centers and the rental stations, and the transported qualities of vandalized bikes and usable bikes between stations and maintenance centers. The optimal design of this system requires an integrated view of the strategic decisions regarding the maintenance centers and vehicle investments, and operational decisions on how to dispatch vehicles to transport bicycle stocks between pickup and delivery stations and how to collect the vandalized bicycles from rental stations to maintenance centers. The purpose of this study is to create a formal model that provides such an integrated view. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer program. Finally, the model is applied to design a distribution system for U-Bike Taipei.

本研究建構公共腳踏車調配系統的策略性設計模型，並對其進行分析測試，所提出的模型同時考量長期的策略層級及營運的操作層級因素。模型中主要的長期策略決策為：腳踏車維修中心之數目及地點、用來運送腳踏車之車輛的車隊規模；營運操作的決策有：如何由維修中心派遣運送腳踏車之車輛、運送腳踏車之車輛的途程規劃、如何收回待維修之公共腳踏車、及如何調配可用公共腳踏車以滿足租賃站收送之需求。本研究以整合性的角度，調整平衡長期策略的決策及營運操作的決策，以求得最佳的系統設計結果，此公共腳踏車調配系統設計問題可被定式為混合整數規劃問題。最後，應用提出的模型在信義計畫區的台北U-Bike公共腳踏車系統，進行案例測試分析。
