This paper analyzes a bike-sharing service from both network efficiency and demand profiles perspectives. Specifically, it focuses on the BIZI in city of Zaragoza (Spain), which was launched May 2008 with aim increasing use bicycle city. Since then, number users has increased smoothly, currently constitutes an integrated transport mode as alternative to cars public The evolution service, using ...

Bike-sharing is known as a sustainable form of transportation. This travel mode able to tackle the “last mile” transit issue and deliver financial, well-being, low-carbon lifestyle advantages users. To date, many studies have analysed influence various factors, including built environments, on bike-sharing ridership. However, no study has exclusively synthesised these findings regarding associa...

As bike-share systems expand in urban areas, the wealth of publicly available data has drawn researchers to the novel operational challenges these systems face. The key challenge is to meet user demand for available bikes and docks by rebalancing the system. This paper addresses the optimization problems that arise from these efforts. In particular, we provide new models to guide truck routing ...

This study evaluated the use of a fuel-cell-assisted bicycle (H-bike) in sharing. Two pertinent issues arise. First, number start-stops and distance traveled lead to power consumption levels so high that they exceed those households. Second, H-bikes are 3 kg heavier than conventional bicycles. Reduction rolling resistance due increased tire pressures may afford solution these problems. The purp...

Smart city can be considered as a process-intensive environment that needs to be as flexible as possible to support a continuously evolving scenario. In this paper we present an approach to support flexibility of Business Processes regulating the behaviour of ICT systems deployed within a smart city. The approach permits to deal with large collections of process variants thanks to the integrati...

Pollution, resource depletion, and to a lesser extent, global warming called into question mass consumption. Public policies, media broadcasters, tech giants, supranational entities (e.g., United Nations) nudged societies alternative consumption forms that have been deemed more sustainable, such as collaborative (CC). This paper aims at proposing theoretical–empirical model explains the materia...
