contents This paper proposes a fully dynamic Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) method for rebalancing dockless bike-sharing systems, overcoming the limitations of periodic, system-wide interventions. We model the service through a graph-based simulator and cast rebalancing as a Markov decision process. A DRL agent routes a single truck in real time, executing localized pick-up, drop-off, and charging actions guided by spatiotemporal criticality scores. Experiments on real-world data show significant reductions in availability failures with a minimal fleet size, while limiting spatial inequality and mobility deserts. Our approach demonstrates the value of learning-based rebalancing for efficient and reliable shared micromobility.
