Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We theoretically analyze the proposed method regarding the upper bound of its efficiency. We also compare it with a baseline method and non-regulation scenario on a free-floating car-sharing simulator. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a higher social surplus than the existing method.

Pseudocode No The paper describes its method in numbered steps within paragraph text but does not include structured pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access information (e.g., repository link, explicit statement of code release, or code in supplementary materials) for the source code of the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper describes a simulator and parameters configured by referring to literature and an existing service (Car2go), but it does not specify a publicly available dataset with concrete access information (link, DOI, formal citation).
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology) for training, validation, or testing.
Hardware Specification Yes The simulation time ends in less than 100 seconds in the case of 1,000 vehicles with 1,000 usage requests (Intel Core i7-8565U 1.80 GHz, 16 GB of memory).
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details, such as library or solver names with version numbers, needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes Table 1 shows the experiment settings. In OD demands, hubs represent points at which the spatial centralization of OD demands occurs. ... Valuation function when picking up vehicle The valuation function of pick-up user at is composed of the positive valuation vat obtained by the trip and the disutility obtained by the time x required to pick up a vehicle. uat(x) = vat - 0.0001αatx^4 ... Valuation function when dropping off a vehicle On the basis of studies such as (Kato, Sakashita, and Tsuchiya 2015), we assumed that drop-off user bj s disutility function can be formulated as follows. ubj(x) = 0.21x bj Bt
