Bike sharing is emerging globally as an active, convenient, and sustainable mode of transportation. To plan successful bike-sharing systems (BSSs), many cities start from a small-scale pilot gradually expand the system to cover more areas. For station-based BSSs, this means planning new stations based on existing ones over time, which requires prediction number trips generated by these across w...

The aim of this paper is to analyse the type mobilities and subjects that are being promoted constituted through bike-sharing systems. This done an analysis system in city Lund Sweden. utilises Bacchi's What Problem Represented be? framework develops it adding a spatial perspective. Departing from critical velomobilities perspective, we argue urban transport policies cannot merely be regarded a...

It is well established that the transport sector not an equalitarian sector. To develop a sustainable society, more and safe system for both users employees needed. This work prioritizes needs barriers previously identified as relevant among four different scenarios (railways, autonomous vehicles (AVs), bicycle-sharing services (BSSs), employment). The aim of this paper to prioritize factors af...

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....

To reduce automobile exhaust pollution, traffic congestion and parking difficulties, bike-sharing systems are rapidly developed in many countries and more than 500 major cities in the world over the past decade. In this paper, we discuss a largescale bike-sharing system under Markovian environment, and propose a mean-field matrix-analytic method in the study of bike-sharing systems through comb...

In recent years, bike-sharing systems have been deployed in many cities, which provide an economical lifestyle. With the prevalence of bike-sharing systems, a lot of companies join the market, leading to increasingly fierce competition. To be competitive, bike-sharing companies and app developers need to make strategic decisions for mobile apps development. Therefore, it is significant to predi...

Bike sharing programs are eco-friendly transportation systems that are widespread in smart city environments. In this paper, we study the problem of privacy-preserving bike sharing microdata publishing. Bike sharing systems collect visiting information along with user identity and make it public by removing the user identity. Even after excluding user identification, the published bike sharing ...

Bike Sharing Systems became popular in recent years to extend the public transportation network of cities or regions. Most research in this area focuses on finding the optimal locations for bike sharing stations. Still various approaches on how to operate such a system efficiently exist. The usefulness of a bike sharing system strongly depends on the user convenience which is directly connected...

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...

Bike sharing has recently enabled sustainable means of shared mobility through automated rental stations in metropolitan areas. Spatio-temporal variation of bike rentals leads to imbalances in the distribution of bikes causing full or empty stations in the course of a day. Ensuring the reliable provision of bikes and bike racks is crucial for the viability of these systems. This paper presents ...
