Method to Evaluate a Bike-Sharing System Based on Performance Parameters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision Support Methods in Modern Transportation Systems and Networks

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems ((LNNS,volume 208))

Abstract

Bike-sharing systems are a popular and widespread mobility tool all over the world. The introduction of such system could bring a large amount of benefits for city or region: starting from the promotion of cycling as a mode of transport and finishing with the improvement of image of this city or region. Though there is a lot of advices as well as guidelines concerning the system introduction, unfortunately, there are less research works with the practical application concerning problems of their operations. In this chapter the performance of station-based bike-sharing systems and its evaluation are discussed by using quite basic parameters. Application of the proposed approach was demonstrated on the example of the system in Krakow, Poland.
