bike-sharing system theory

Bike-sharing system theory involves the design and management of networks where bicycles are made available for communal use, typically through stations or dockless options. It focuses on optimizing bike distribution, station placement, and user access to ensure convenience, efficiency, and sustainable urban mobility. Key considerations include balancing supply and demand, reducing congestion and pollution, and integrating with other transportation modes. These systems rely on data, technology, and strategic planning to improve service reliability and user experience, ultimately encouraging more people to choose cycling for short trips and helping cities become more environmentally friendly and accessible.
