In this work, we assume that a central authority wants to control the distribution of the vehicles and can do so by selecting charging prices. Since there will likely be more than one ride-hailing company in the market, we model the problem as a single-leader multiple-follower Stackelberg game. The followers, i.e., the companies, compete about the charging resources under given prices provided by the leader. We present a learning algorithm based on the concept of contextual bandits that allows the central authority to find an efficient pricing strategy. We also show how the exploratory phase of the learning can be improved if the leader has some partial knowledge about the companies' objective functions. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in a simulated case study for the city of Shenzhen, China.TechnologyGametext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
