Balancing passenger demand and vehicle availability is crucial for ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of urban transportation systems. To address this challenge, we propose a novel hierarchical strategy for the efficient distribution of empty vehicles in urban areas. The proposed approach employs a data-enabled predictive control (DeePC) algorithm to develop a high-level controller, which guides the inter-regional allocation of idle vehicles. This algorithm utilizes historical data on passenger demand and vehicle supply in each region to construct a nonparametric representation of the system, enabling it to determine the optimal number of vehicles to be repositioned or retained in their current regions without modeling the system. At the low level, a coverage control-based controller is designed to provide inter-regional position guidance, determining the desired road intersection each vehicle should target. With the objective of optimizing area coverage, it aligns the vehicle distribution with the demand across different districts within a single region. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through simulation experiments on the real road network of Shenzhen, China. The integration of the two layers provides better performance compared to applying either layer in isolation, demonstrating its potential to reduce passenger waiting time and answer more requests, thus promoting the development of more efficient and sustainable transportation systems.
