Developing a Capacity Correction Factor through an Analysis of Trips in Boston’s Bike- Sharing System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bike-sharing systems have transformed the transportation decisions of travelers, becoming one of the fastest growing modes of transportation. We examine the Boston Hubway system as a network, developing a capacity correction factor to assess the possible redistribution problem faced by this network. Our results show that Hubway has, to a first order, strategically placed their stations to avoid segmenting its network. We outline areas of future analysis that can offer increased insight into bike-sharing systems.

The bicycle sharing systems are increasingly numerous nowadays. These transportation systems generate sizable transportation data the mining of which can reveal the underlying urban phenomenons linked to city dynamics. This paper introduces a statistical model to automatically analyze bike sharing system trips data. This model will introduce a latent variable to partition the stations in terms ...

متن کاملA Unified Framework for Analyzing Closed Queueing Networks in Bike Sharing Systems
During the last decade bike sharing systems have emerged as a public transport mode in urban short trips in more than 500 major cities around the world. For the mobility service mode, many challenges from its operations are not well addressed yet, for example, how to develop the bike sharing systems to be able to effectively satisfy the fluctuating demands both for bikes and for vacant lockers....
متن کاملQueueing Analysis of a Large-Scale Bike Sharing System through Mean-Field Theory
The bike sharing systems are fast increasing as a public transport mode in urban short trips, and have been developed in many major cities around the world. A major challenge in the study of bike sharing systems is that large-scale and complex queueing networks have to be applied through multi-dimensional Markov processes, while their discussion always suffers a common difficulty: State space e...
متن کاملA Systems Perspective of Cycling and Bike-sharing Systems in Urban Mobility
Urban mobility is a prevalent problem in many cities around the world. Cycling offers a fast and cheap transportation option for short-distance trips, with smaller carbon and physical footprint than driving a car. Cycling can also encourage a modal shift from private car to public transport by providing efficient last mile connections. This has led to a renewed interest to promote cycling in ci...
