The Integrated Last-Mile Transportation Problem (ILMTP).
TL;DR: It is proved that there is an optimal solution that sorts and groups passengers by their deadlines and, based on this result, a constructive grouping heuristic and local search operators to generate high-quality solutions.

Competition and Cooperation between Shared Bicycles and Public Transit: A Case Study of Beijing
TL;DR: The results show that overall transit usage continued growing after the shared bicycles market reached a plateau; short public transits within 2 km decreased while transfers within 2km increased; and the decrease of short transits and increase of transfers within 3 km were spatially highly correlated to the usage of shared bicycles.

Diffusion behavior in a docked bike-sharing system
TL;DR: Analysis of bike diffusion behavior in a docked bike-sharing system in Chicago finds a cluster of communities poorly connected with the rest of the city by bike travel, and these isolated communities are strongly correlated with the areas of theCity that have high concentration of African American population, low-income households and homicide crimes.

Bikeshare in China as a public service: Comparing government‐run and public‐private partnership operation models
Gavin Fynn Lohry,Alice Yiu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effects of these two operation models on PBS performance and concluded that GR systems have been more effective than PPP systems in achieving higher bike utilization, ridership, and population served.

Will smart bikes succeed as public transportation in the united states
Paul DeMaio,Jonathan Gifford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the potential success of smart bike programs in the United States and showed that there are currently no smart bike rental systems in the US. In 1996, the smart bike, or automated bike rental system, was first implemented in the UK, leading to a growing number of programs throughout Europe and Asia.
