In this context, this paper develops a modular agent-based simulation framework for being applied to vehicle-sharing systems. The modular structure of the simulator implies that each sub-system is treated separately, so that each module can be replaced or modified without affecting the others. In this way, the simulator can be used to analyse specific problems such as the optimal location of stations, the design of repositioning strategies, or different vehicle usage policies, by focusing only on the relevant module. The simulation framework proposed has been implemented and tested in the analysis of two different systems: a station-based bike-sharing system and a mixed (i.e., station-based and free-floating) car-sharing initiative. The paper shows some of the results obtained from such implementations as an example of its possible applications.This research has been partially funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Gobierno de España), grant number TRA2016-79019-R, through the doctoral scholarship BES-2017-081266. Authors also acknowledge the support of CARNET, the future mobility research hub, initiated by SEAT, Volkswagen Group Research at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in the promotion of vehicle-sharing research. Finally, the collaboration of Dr. Ramon Planas in the construction of the simulation environment, and the initial work of graduate 1 student Víctor Casado is gratefully acknowledged.Peer Reviewed20252025-01-0120242024-04-23journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/406946https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17477778.2024.2304549reponame:UPCommons.
