Life cycle assessment to quantify the impact of technology improvements in bike‐sharing systems

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 138-148, February 2020., 2020
Abstract The reduced environmental footprint of bicycle sharing systems (BSS) is one of the reasons for their rapid growth in popularity. BSS have evolved technologically, transitioning from smart dock systems to smart bicycle systems, and it is not clear if the increased use of electronics in BSS results in a net environmental benefit.

The conditional permutation test for independence while controlling for confounders

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 175-197, February 2020., 2020
Summary We propose a general new method, the conditional permutation test, for testing the conditional independence of variables X and Y given a potentially high dimensional random vector Z that may contain confounding factors. The test permutes entries of X non‐uniformly, to respect the existing dependence between X and Z and thus to account for the ...

Residents in Seattle, WA Report Differential Use of Free-Floating Bikeshare by Age, Gender, Race, and Location

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
Bikesharing may have numerous urban health, sustainability, and mobility benefits. Bikesharing systems that do not require stations (i.e., “dockless,” or “free-floating” bikeshare) launched in North America in 2017.

Representations of urban cycling in sustainability transitions research: a review

European Transport Research Review, 2023
Background Increased cycling is generally recognized as a highly important project in decarbonizing urban transport. Despite well-researched and broadly accepted benefits of cycling, bicycle mobility plays only a marginal role in the modal share for most

Machine Learning Approach to Quantity Management for Long‐Term Sustainable Development of Dockless Public Bike: Case of Shenzhen in China

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Since the number of bicycles is critical to the sustainable development of dockless PBS, this research practiced the introduction of a machine learning approach to quantity management using OFO bike operation data in Shenzhen. First, two clustering algorithms were used to identify the bicycle gathering area, and the available bike number and ...

Integrating e-bikes and bikesharing with public transport: Impacts on job accessibility and equity

Journal of Urban Mobility
Despite their potential to address limitations of conventional cycling, the role of e-bikes and bikesharing systems in improving job accessibility and transport equity, particularly when integrated with public transport, remains underexplored. This study

Bikesharing in Europe, the Americas, and Asia [PDF]

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010
Growing concerns about global motorization and climate change have led to increasing interest in sustainable transportation alternatives such as bikesharing (the shared use of a bicycle fleet). Since 1965, bikesharing has grown across the globe on five continents: Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia.
