Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to review and analyze the contribution of Operational Research (OR) in both the design and the management of shared transport services. If, on the one hand, for some specific fields, such as mobility services or collaborative logistics, there are several studies showing the benefit provided by OR (e.g., the impact of vehicle relocation algorithms in the management of bike/car sharing services), on the other hand, there are a lot of potential applications of OR that deserve to be still investigated.
