Proposal of Localized Bike Sharing System for common facilities

Abstract

Bike Sharing System (BSS) recently attracts much attention as a way of sustainable transportation. This paper proposes Localized Bike Sharing System(L-BSS), which targets users of common facilities and connects common facilities to local important places. We aim to clarify indispensable conditions for materializing L-BSS such as balancing user demand and supply, span of rebalancing, and composition of users. For this purpose, we conduct demand estimation of a target case based on empirical data for constructing a model of L-BSS using Life Cycle Simulation.
