These services allow the customers to pick the car from one location and drop to another location. Car rental has became popular mode of transportation just like ride sharing, taxi service & shuttle. Parallelly challenges like maintaining optimal number of cars at certain requirement areas.
ORMAE provides customized optimization solution for solving this dynamic problems scenarios optimizing the fleet size as per continuous demand across geographies
There are rental car outlets across geography. One way car rental leads to imbalance of cars at different outlets. Customized routing algorithm had to be designed to assign drivers to move cars across different outlets to maintain balance. These drivers need to be moved via shuttle between end location of trip to start location of next trip. ORMAE has deliverered customized solution in optimizing the fleet considering the continuous demand shifts across days and manpower constraints
Minimize number of drivers needed to make car trips
Minimizing number of shuttles needed to take driver from trip end location to next trip start location
Maximize number of moves for limited drivers for trips and shuttles
Constraints/Challenges:
a)Department of Transportation rules for drivers
b) Drivers shared for trips as well as shuttle driving
