A global comparison of bicycle sharing systems
TL;DR: This paper marks a major step forward through its analysis of data from 322 schemes situated on all major continents, enabling a global comparison of scheme performance and offering a basis to new schemes to identify established BSS with similar characteristics that can be used as a template for anticipating the likely demand from users.

Resource recycle efficiency improvement analysis for sharing bicycles: Value chain perspective
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the evolutionary history and value chain of different bicycle consumption patterns, then employed a queuing theory to discuss the feasibility of the sharing bicycle company recycle system from the perspective of value chain and analyzes the approach to improve the efficiency of recycling system.

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.
