The first Irish public Bike Sharing Scheme (BSS) was launched in Dublin 2009. Dublinbikes has been internationally recognised as one of the most successful bike-sharing rental schemes world. For this reason, among others, cities Cork, Limerick and Galway their own BSSs at end 2014. objective paper is to compare performance four during two years implementation each city according endogenous fact...

This paper focuses on the efficiency evaluation of bike-sharing systems (BSSs) and develops an approach based data envelopment analysis (DEA) to support decisions regarding performance BSS stations. The proposed methodology is applied tested for Malmöbybike in Malmö, Sweden. was done by employing spatial analyses about usage trends as well taking into account transport, land use, socioeconomic ...

As more people move back into densely populated cities, bike sharing is emerging as an important mode of urban mobility. In a typical bike sharing system, riders arrive at a station and take a bike if it is available. After retrieving a bike, they ride it for a while, then return it to a station near their final destinations. Since space is limited in cities, each station has a finite capacity ...

Bike sharing systems consist of a fleet of bikes placed in a network of docking stations. These bikes can then be rented and returned to any of the docking stations after usage. Predicting unrealized bike demand at locations currently without bike stations is important for effectively designing and expanding bike sharing systems. We predict pairwise bike demand for New York City’s Citi Bike sys...

The boom in bike-sharing is receiving growing attention as societies become more aware of the importance of active non-motorized traffic modes. However, the low usage of this transport mode in China raises concerns. The primary objective of this study is to explore factors affecting bike-sharing usage and satisfaction degree of bike-sharing among the bike-sharing user population in China. Data ...

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...

The implementation of bike-sharing systems (BSSs) is expected to lead modifications in the travel habits transport users, one which choice mode. Therefore, this research focuses on identification factors influencing shift private car users BSSs based stated preference survey data from city Alexandroupolis, Greece. A binary logit model employed for purpose. estimation results indicate impacts ge...

Bike sharing provides an environment-friendly way for traveling and is booming all over the world. Yet, due to the high similarity of user travel patterns, the bike imbalance problem constantly occurs, especially for dockless bike sharing systems, causing significant impact on service quality and company revenue. Thus, it has become a critical task for bike sharing systems to resolve such imbal...
