Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) experience a significant loss in customer demand due to starvation (empty base stations precluding bike pickup) or congestion (full base stations precluding bike return). Therefore, BSSs operators reposition bikes between stations with the help of carrier vehicles. Due to unpredictable and dynamically changing nature of the demand, myopic reasoning typically provides...

Bike-sharing systems (BSSs) are a mobility service of public bicycles available for shared use that is becoming increasingly popular in urban contexts [...]

Due to increased traffic congestion and carbon emissions, Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) are adopted in various cities for short distance travels, specifically for last mile transportation. The success of a bike sharing system depends on its ability to have bikes available at the "right" base stations at the "right" times. Typically, carrier vehicles are used to perform repositioning of bikes betw...

With cycling moving from being a pastime to mainstream form of mobility and transport, bike-sharing systems (BSSs) are increasingly deployed in many cities. Analysis BSS usage data can provide insights into factors that shape the patterns trips, uncovering latent city dynamics.

The emerging Bicycle Sharing System (BSS) provides a new social microscope that allows us to "photograph" the main aspects of the society and to create a comprehensive picture of human mobility behavior in this new medium. BSS has been deployed in many major cities around the world as a short-distance trip supplement for public transportations and private vehicles. A unique value of the bike fl...

Bike sharing systems (BSSs) offer a mobility service whereby public bikes, located at different stations across an urban area, are available for shared use. An important point is that the distribution of rides between stations is not uniformly distributed and certain stations fill up or empty over time. These empty and full stations lead to demand for bikes and return boxes that cannot be fulfi...

Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) are widely adopted in major cities of the world due to concerns associated with extensive private vehicle usage, namely, increased carbon emissions, traffic congestion and usage of nonrenewable resources. In a BSS, base stations are strategically placed throughout a city and each station is stocked with a pre-determined number of bikes at the beginning of the day. Cu...

Bike sharing systems (BSSs) are widely adopted in major cities of the world due to traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Although there have been approaches exploit either bike trailers via crowdsourcing or carrier vehicles reposition bikes “right” stations time, they did not jointly consider usage both vehicles. In this paper, we aim take advantage reduce loss demand by determining whether ...

Abstract Bicycle-sharing systems (BSSs) have started to play an important role in the transport of cities worldwide as a sustainable alternative dominant motorised mobility culture. BSSs also expanded over time include regions and metropolitan areas well small towns rural areas. The purpose this paper is identify compare goals connecting individual communes area bicycle system. authors applied ...

City bikes and bike-sharing systems (BSSs) are one solution to the last mile problem. BSSs guarantee equity by presenting affordable alternative transportation means for low-income households. These feature a multitude of bike stations scattered around city. Numerous mean users can borrow from location return it there or different location. However, this may create an unbalanced system, where s...
