AbstractMost studies of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) have assumed established automated driving technology. In contrast, this study assumes that automated driving technology is not yet mature; it proposes two types of models to optimize the number of SAVs and the sections they travel. The first model (i.e., the ‘actual depot model’) does not consider the travel distance from the depot to the service start and end points. The second (i.e., the ‘virtual depot model’) considers the as-described travel distance. We showed in the actual depot model that under mild assumptions, the continuity condition of the SAV travel segments can be described by a simple constraint condition. The models were then applied to a hypothetical network; the performances of the models confirmed that the evaluation indicators for the virtual depot model tended to be better than the indicators for the actual depot model.
