Last-Mile Scheduling Under Uncertainty
TL;DR: This work considers a two-stage stochastic programming formulation for scheduling a set of known passengers and uncertain passengers that are realized from a finite set of scenarios and presents an optimization approach based on decision diagrams.

Visitor bikeshare usage: tracking visitor spatiotemporal behavior using big data
Richard J. Buning,Vijay Lulla +1 more
TL;DR: Investigating the spatial-temporal usage patterns of bikeshare by visitors to an urban community using GPS based big data revealed differential usage patterns between visitors and local residents based on user provided ZIP Codes using a 50 mile geometric circular buffer around the urban destination.

The characteristics of bike-sharing usage: case study in Zhongshan, China
TL;DR: The findings show that Zhongshan’s public bike system is not very efficient based on usage metrics which are low compared to successful systems in other countries, indicating that location allocation of stations needs adjustment.

Synergies from improved cycling-transit integration: towards an integrated mobility system
Roland Kager,Lucas Harms +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present seven conceptual mechanisms that lead to synergies, understood as benefits not attributable to cycling or transit in isolation, but to their integration only, and analyse and allocate such synergies by a case study of the Dutch cycling-transit system.

Evaluation of Relationships Between Ridership Demand and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Indicators Focused on Land Use Density, Diversity, and Accessibility: A Case Study of Existing Metro Stations in Bangkok
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between ridership demand and transit-oriented development indicators, which is expected to be the first question that a developer in Thailand must be able to answer in order to direct their development plan in the right direction.

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.
