Thanks to numerical data gathered by Lyon's shared bicycling system Vélo'v, we are able to analyze 11.6 millions bicycle trips, leading to the first robust characterization of urban bikers' behaviors. We show that bicycles outstrip cars in downtown Lyon, by combining high speed and short paths.These data also allows us to calculate Vélo'v fluxes on all streets, pointing to interesting locations...

Data gathered relating to the Lyon’s shared bicycling system, Vélo’v, is used to analyze 11.6 millions bicycle trips in the city. The data show that bicycles now compete with the car in terms of speed in downtown Lyon. It also provides information on cycle flows that can be of use in the planning of dedicated bicycle lanes and other facilities. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Shared mobility systems for bicycles and cars have grown in popularity in recent years and have attracted the attention of the operational research community. Researchers have investigated several problems arising at the strategic, tactical and operational levels.

Although bicycles in Japan are widely used for going to school, shopping and so on, satisfaction levels of cyclists for the condition of streets are not high. This is because most bicycle space is shared with pedestrians. The aim of this study is to find evaluation factors from a viewpoint of bicycles’ perception by monitoring cycling behavior using a Probe Bicycle System. The Probe Bicycle dev...
