In this paper, we integrate the fluid queueing theory and rolling horizon approach to investigate the real-time pricing scheme for an electric carsharing system (ECS) with parking reservation in dynamic stochastic environments. Specifically, we first employ an exponential model to capture the nonlinear interrelationship among the elastic demand, travel price, and travel time. The travel time is affected by exogenous congestion and endogenous congestion. Then, we develop a novel queueing network model for ECS. In this model, all the arriving and serving processes are non-homogeneous Poisson processes, and idle probabilities are introduced to consider the stochasticity of the vehicle departure process. Next, we propose a rolling optimization framework based on the queueing network model to maximize the expected operating profit by optimizing hourly service pricing. The pricing decision in each time-bound optimization phase is achieved by a fast convergence algorithm (Improved Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation). Numerical experiments in the Chengdu case reveal some interesting findings.
