BACKGROUND We studied the effect of key development and expansion of an off-road multipurpose trail system in Minneapolis, Minnesota between 2000 and 2007 to understand whether infrastructure investments are associated with increases in commuting by bicycle. METHODS We used repeated measures regression on tract-level (N = 116 tracts) data to examine changes in bicycle commuting between 2000 a...

The present paper aimed at developing an approach based on Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for measuring of knowledge sharing in the organization. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the knowledge sharing by experts and managers in the world, according to increasing importance of knowledge as the key source of competitive advantage, organizations have made serious effort to find ...

increases in incidents involving so-called confused persons have brought attention to the potential costs of recent changes to public mental health (pmh) services in the netherlands. decentralized under the (community) participation act (2014), local governments must find resources to compensate for reduced central funding to such services or “innovate.” but innovation, even when pressure for c...

Balancing bike sharing systems is an increasingly important problem, because of the rising popularity of this mean of transportation. Bike sharing systems need to be balanced so that bikes (and empty slots for returning bikes) are available to the customers, thus ensuring an adequate level of service. In this paper, we tackle the problem of balancing a real-world bike sharing system (BBSS) by m...

To facilitate the intelligent and automated provision of mobility services by autonomous transportation systems, bike-sharing can be a supplement to public transport for addressing their point-to-point issue, namely, “last mile” service. However, according different nature land use, uneven spatio-temporal distribution travel demand directly lead difficult access bikes with high costs users oper...

Operators of public bicycle sharing systems (BSSs) have to regularly redistribute bikes across their stations in order to avoid them getting overly full or empty. We consider the dynamic case where this is done while the system is in use. There are two main objectives: On the one hand it is desirable to reach particular target fill levels at the end of the process so that the stations are likel...

This paper describes the outdoor installation “UNSEEEN”, in the Reford Gardens of Eastern Québec. It emphasizes issues of autonomous self-modifying behavior during its three-month period of continuous operation. The system collected real time data on plants, insects and animals through a multi-camera vision system, interpreted this data, and shared the results with visitors. The system visualiz...

Bike-sharing systems are an important element in development of the smart cities and datasets from these one ways to obtain large amount information on bicycle traffic. These usually contain data origin destination each trip, as well its time duration. Alongside basic data, some operators also provide exact route picked by user. This allows researchers study stopovers, which may serve a source ...

PURPOSE Recently, reports in the mass media have implicated that bicycle riding increases the risk of erectile dysfunction and prostatic diseases. So, we evaluate the impact of bicycle riding on erectile function and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in healthy general men. METHODS From 26 June 2010 to 20 July 2010, we investigate degree of LUTS (voiding and storage symptoms), using Interna...

High levels of car dependence have caused tremendous challenges for sustainable transport development. Transport planners, therefore, seek ways replacing motor vehicles, as well increasing the proportion active travel. The bike-sharing scheme can be seen an effective way doing so, particularly in Asian cities. aim this paper is to investigate users’ perspectives on development using Shanghai ex...
