Signed by the final examining committee: Chair Dr. Chun Wang Internal Examiner Dr. Amin Hammad Examiner External Dr. Govind Gopakumar Supervisor Dr. Anjali Awasthi Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director 2013 Dean of Faculty iii Abstract Evaluating car sharing fleet management strategies using Discrete Event Simulation Alfred John Chellanthara Concordia University Dynamic fleet management is often faced with the problem of managing real time customer requirements and unforeseen events that affect the performance of transport operations. In a car sharing organization, vehicle availability is considered as a measure of quality of service, which is defined by the availability of a car at the time when the user arrives at the station. This thesis presents a decision support tool in order to test the efficiency of a round trip (return to same station) model as compared to a one way (return to any station) model for fleet management in a car sharing organization.

  • TD-041 Uma Análise Do Mercado De Consumo Colaborativo
    SÉRIE DE TEXTOS PARA DISCUSSÃO DO CURSO DE CIÊNCIAS ECONÔMICAS TEXTO PARA DISCUSSÃO N.[041] UMA ANÁLISE DO MERCADO DE CONSUMO COLABORATIVO Cintia Farago Guimarães Paulo Roberto Scalco NEPEC/FACE/UFG Goiânia – Setembro de 2014 Dados Internacionais de Catalogação na Publicação (CIP) GPT/BC/UFG 2 TD [041] – UMA ANÁLISE DO MERCADO DE CONSUMO COLABORATIVO UMA ANÁLISE DO MERCADO DE CONSUMO COLABORATIVO Cintia Farago Guimarães Bacharel em Economia Universidade Federal de Goiás 1 Paulo Roberto Scalco 2 Universidade Federal de Goiás Faculdade de Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Ciências Econômicas RESUMO As recentes inovações tecnológicas têm permitido a criação de novos e distintos mercados. O mercado de Consumo Colaborativo, advindo destas inovações, descreve uma forma de consumo de bens e serviços, onde as transações, de quaisquer natureza que sejam, se diferenciam das tradicionais, chegando a interferir inclusive nas relações pessoais entre os indivíduos. Este mercado traz um importante viés, intrínseco à ele, a sustentabilidade. O Consumo Colaborativo, por promover a minimização da produção de novos bens, pois os transforma em serviços, assim como redistribui bens usados, minimiza também o impacto ambiental gerado neste processo. Este trabalho visa analisar este novo mercado, sob a ótica de Teoria Econômica, especificamente da Nova Economia Institucional, com base na teoria dos Custos de Transação, Capital Social e Dilema de Ação Coletiva. Palavras Chaves:Consumo Colaborativo; cooperação; mecanismos de avaliação; inovações tecnológicas; Nova Economia Institucional ABSTRACT Recent innovations in technology have made possible the creation of a new market called, collaborative consumption. The collaborative consumption market is based on a mode of consumption that differs from the traditional way that people consume products in two significant ways: it engenders personal relationships between individuals who share a product; and it is environmentally sustainable.

  • Car Sharing in Wellington, New Zealand: Benefits and Barriers
    Car sharing in Wellington, New Zealand: benefits and barriers Lucia Sobiecki A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s in Environmental Studies School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington June 2017 Abstract Sprawling urban development and high levels of car dependency in New Zealand have resulted in a range of adverse impacts, including increased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Car sharing can support compact development and sustainable transport patterns by providing a potential alternative to car ownership. Despite the increasing popularity of car sharing overseas, it is still in the early stages of development in New Zealand. There is a growing body of international literature about car sharing; however, very little has been written about car sharing in the New Zealand context. This thesis contributes to the literature by exploring car sharing in Wellington. This study has adopted a mixed method approach, surveying Wellington residents about car sharing and interviewing car share stakeholders. The findings from this research indicate that car sharing is a transport innovation which offers Wellington significant benefits. Perhaps most importantly, car sharing can reduce car ownership and usage, which in turn can help reduce congestion, demand for parking and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this study provides evidence that the people most interested in car sharing in Wellington have similar characteristics to car share members overseas. This includes younger people, apartment dwellers, households without children, and people who use a car occasionally but do not necessarily own one. This thesis also highlights that car sharing is complementary to alternative modes of transport, and underlines the close connection between car sharing and modern technologies such as automated booking.
