Different Methods of Redistributing Bike among the Station: A Mathematical Solution in Order to Find Critical Stations
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: One of the main encountered issues for transport engineers in order to develop a bike sharing system is redistribution of bikes among the stations. In order to understand the issue, assume that you want to hire a bike from bike sharing system and go to the bike stations which your trip will start from that station but you face that there is not any bike in bike station. Or assume that you used bike sharing system for your trip and want to give it back to the station in your destination but you face with a station with no empty place for your bike. The above mentioned situations should be solved by a transport engineer who is responsible for developing such a system. Different companies around the world suggested and implemented different solutions for this purpose. In this study, different solutions will be explained and defined with their real world implemented examples.
