Shared micro-mobility vehicles are perceived as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional public transportation, offering a new urban lifestyle choice. Depending on the strategy employed, micro-mobility companies typically manage their fleets through dock-based or free-floating systems. However, in recent years, the free-floating system has shown its limitations despite its flexibility: inefficiency due to disorganized parking and oversupply. On the other hand, systems based on virtual stations have demonstrated superior efficiency in addressing these drawbacks and incur lower costs than physical stations. This paper proposes a framework for an automated transition from a free-floating system to a virtual dock-based system. This approach uses multi-layer clustering techniques while maintaining high efficiency and service quality, providing demand forecasting within each station for system rebalancing.
