Vehicle-sharing: Technological infrastructure, vehicles, and user-side devices - Technological review

In this work a review of the technological aspects of Vehicle Sharing Systems is given. First a definition of Vehicle Sharing System is provided; then the main problems related to these kind of systems are introduced by comparing different solutions both presented in literature and currently used by Vehicle Sharing Systems companies. System infrastructure, fleet management and user interaction aspects are discussed in detail. Finally, a bunch of Vehicle Sharing Systems initiatives are introduced and synthetically compared.
