A Multicriteria Decision Making Approach for Carsharing Stations Selection

The current paper presents a three stage approach based on Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for carsharing stations selection. In the first stage, we identify the criteria for selecting the carsharing stations using literature review, discussion with carsharing experts and on-hand experience with LISELEC carsharing system of La Rochelle. The second stage consists of allotting weights to the criteria and the stations on a ratio scale using pairwise comparison. The criteria weights and the individual weight of stations for each criterion are used to calculate the overall weights for the stations. In the third stage, we select the stations whose overall weights exceed the threshold limit. Finally, we validate our approach by application on Angoulins-sur-Mer city of CdA La Rochelle, France.
