Online prediction with bike sharing systems
… methods to predict the station status in Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs). Accurate station status prediction has immediate benefits for BSS users and operators. The number of incidences of when BSS users try to rent a bike from an empty station or return a bike to a full station and the cost …

Strategic Design of Smart Bike-Sharing Systems for Smart Cities
… which is known as the last mile problem. A smart bike-sharing system (BSS) can help address this problem and encourage more people to ride public transportation, thus relieving traffic congestion. At the strategic level, we start with proposing a novel two-layer hierarchical classifier that …

A Multi-Stage Optimization Framework for Battery Swapping in Urban E-Bike Sharing Systems
Shared electric bicycles (e-bikes) are increasingly central to urban transportation, providing a faster, more accessible alternative to conventional bicycles for short trips. As their use grows, maintaining sufficient battery levels across large fleets becomes critical. Among battery management …

Optimizing Bike Sharing Systems: Dynamic Prediction Using Machine Learning and Statistical Techniques and Rebalancing
… parking spaces in the city will be replaced by bike lanes. As a government effort to support bicycling and offer alternative transportation modes, bike-sharing systems (BSSs) have been introduced in over 50 countries. BSSs aim to encourage people to travel via bike by distributing bicycles at …

Will dockless bike sharing system alter the subway price premium in rental market? : evidence from Beijing
The dockless bike-sharing system emerged in 2016 in China. It achieves door-to-door connection and is thus regarded as an efficient solution to the urban last mile problem. Empirical studies have found that the entry of dockless bikes can flatten the rent price gradient for subway accessibility for …

Resource scheduling and optimization in dynamic and complex transportation settings
… particularly so in most emerging systems in the sharing economy. These systems are by definition founded on the sharing of resources among users, which naturally creates many coordination needs as well as challenges to ensure enough resource supply to cover customer demand. This thesis addresses …

Modeling demand of bike share system using built environment attributes in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Increasing the share of trips done by bike has become an objective of cities worldwide. At the individual level, biking is associated with better physical and mental health. At the city level, biking contributes to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce commuting times and improve air quality. This …

Learning to predict demand in a transport-resource sharing task
… occur in many applications. One example is bike-sharing systems, which encourage the use of public transport by making it easy to rent and return bicycles for short transits. With large numbers of distributed kiosks recording the time and location of rental transactions, the system acts like …

Data-Driven Bike-Share Ridership Prediction and Network Optimization
… systems, particularly station-based bike-sharing networks, have become key components of urban transportation, yet their planning remain challenged by spatial and technological complexities. This dissertation develops integrated models for ridership prediction, station placement …

Real-data modelling of transportation networks
… chains in transportation networks. We model bike sharing systems, bus networks, and multi-modal public transportation networks using Markov chains. The validation of the models is done by using real data from Boston and London for the bike sharing systems and the multi-modal public …

IDK : an Interaction Development Kit to design interactions for lightweight autonomous vehicles
… Electric Vehicle), an agile autonomous bike-sharing platform (M Lin, 2015). Based on this trend, it is reasonable to anticipate that increasingly more mobility systems of different forms will emerge in urban areas in the future. These new mobility systems might not necessarily be similar …

A Bicycle Electric Assist Unit
… in situations of mass utilization, such as a bike sharing program. This research was completed entirely within the Smart Cities group by the author. The original concept of the BEAU was arrived at during a meeting with the late William J. Mitchell as the "GreenWheel" and the project was begun …

To Have or to Hold: The Role of Psychological Ownership in the Perceived Value of Owned and Accessed Goods
… are renting a neighbor’s used tools, using a bike sharing program to get to work rather than owning a car, or streaming a movie online through Netflix, consumers are forgoing traditional ownership of goods in favor of gaining mere access to them. This behavior reflects a change in the way …

Opportunities and challenges for shared micromobility planning : a case study of Austin dockless scooter-share program
… personal modes, from traditional station-based bike-sharing to cutting-edge dockless electric scooters (e-scooters). The rise of shared micromobility in the U.S. was attributed to scooter-share programs in many cities such as Austin and Los Angeles. Research gaps exist in shared micromobility …

Large-scale analytics and optimization in urban transportation : improving public transit and its integration with vehicle-sharing services
… thesis concerns the design of integrated vehicle-sharing and public transportation services. One-way vehicle-sharing services can provide better access to existing public transportation and additional options for trips beyond those provided by public transit. The contributions of this part are …

On the Relationship Between Spatial-Temporal Outdoor Thermal Comfort Simulations and Bike Ridership
… refinement impacts UTCI values along three bike routes in Cambridge, MA. As a baseline, UTCI is estimated using data from a local weather file. Then, shading from buildings and trees along the routes are considered. Next, local wind speeds are incorporated from computational fluid dynamics …
