Abstract: We focus on a problem of locating recharging stations in one-way station based electric car sharing systems which operate under demand uncertainty. We model this problem as a mixed integer stochastic program and develop a Benders decomposition algorithm based on this formulation. We integrate a stabilization procedure to our algorithm and conduct a large-scale experimental study on our methods. To conduct the computational experiments, we develop a demand forecasting method allowing to generate many demand scenarios. The method is applied to re...
