title = "Dynamic Vehicle Routing for Battery Swapping in an Electric Bike-sharing System",
abstract = "In the daily operation of the emerging electric bike-sharing system, timely and efficient battery swapping is essential as there are no charging facilities at e-bike stations. This paper deals with the path planning of the trucks for battery swapping, considering dynamic battery demands at different stations. This problem is modeled as a vehicle routing problem with intermediate stops and soft time windows. A new solution method combining a dynamic planning strategy and a multiple neighborhood search algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. Numerical results on benchmark instances and a real-world case prove the effectiveness of our model and method.",
