Bike-Share Systems: Accessibility and Availability
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018The cities of Paris, London, Chicago, and New York (among many others) have set up bike-share systems to facilitate the use of bicycles for urban commuting. This paper estimates the impact of two facets of system performance on bike-share ridership: accessibility (how far the user must walk to reach stations) and bike-availability (the likelihood of ...

Major cities—including New York, Paris, and London—have implemented bike-share systems to increase the use of sustainable modes of transportation. In this chapter we discuss the operational challenges of implementing such systems and also provide design recommendations. Critical decisions when implementing bike-share systems are the number of bikes and

Quality of Service Measure for Bike Sharing Systems
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2022Bike sharing systems (BSSs) are becoming an important part of urban mobility in many cities given that they are sustainable and environmentally friendly. BSS operators spend great efforts to ensure bike and dock availability at each station. Measuring the quality of service (QoS) of each station and/or the entire system is critical for efficient system

2013 Second IIAI International Conference on Advanced Applied Informatics, 2013
With the contributions on reducing the traffic congestion and air pollution, bike sharing systems become more popular recently in many metropolitan areas worldwide. Without effective bike redistribution strategies, a bike rental station may easily become out or full of bikes, which incurs the customer inconvenience and conflicts its purpose.

Bike Fleet Allocation Models for Repositioning in Bike-Sharing Systems
IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine, 2018Public bike-sharing systems provide an alternative transportation method and have been rapidly implemented throughout the world in recent years. Using these systems, individuals can find a bike station near their location, rent a bike for free or at a low cost and then ride to another station near their destination.

Balancing Strategies for Bike Sharing Systems
2019The increase of population in big cities has produced several problems related to mobility of humans in the city, such as congestions, CO2 emissions, etc. Lately, governments are trying to mitigate this situation by promoting the use of greener means of transportation such as electrical vehicles or bikes.

Implementing bike-sharing systems
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Municipal Engineer, 2011The last decade has seen a substantial increase in the perception of the bicycle as a realistic transport alternative to the car. Bicycle-sharing schemes are now a reality in many European cities. They can be large scale or small scale and their use is clearly on the increase. The sharing systems are initially free and then start to charge in order to

Bike-sharing systems and health
2020Interest in urban cycling is increasing, and the number of bike-sharing programs has grown rapidly over the last 10 years or so. Bike-sharing programs have existed for almost 50 years, but the recent change in the technology used and interest in more active and livable cities has a more widespread use of the programs.

Cost-Efficient Allocation of Bikes to Stations in Bike Sharing Systems
2017In Bike Sharing Systems, spatio-temporal variation of rentals leads to imbalances in the distribution of bikes causing full or empty stations in the course of a day. Providing a sufficient number of bikes and bike racks is crucial for the viability of these systems.
