Car-sharing services: part A: taxonomy and annotated review
The growth of car-sharing services as a new and more sustainable way of transportation is shifting the private mobility from ownership to service use. Despite the emerging importance of this type of mobility and the large number of papers present in the scientific literature, to the best of our knowledge no extensive and structured analysis has been performed in order to classify the research and determine the mainstreams. Moreover, due to the novelty and the peculiar structure of this type of service both from the business and the operational point of view, the literature analysis should include a business and tariff models analysis. Aim of this paper is to focus on the existing literature, introducing a taxonomy, considering in it the different aspects, including the specifications of the different car-sharing services and the research questions considered in the papers. Secondly, we analyze and classify 95 papers appeared in the last fifteen years, giving an insight of the mainstreams. Finally, we deeply study the trends and research perspectives of the literature, showing the unbalancing between the literature related to the operational level and the economic business development and customer validation aspects.
