Abstract
- The problem of designing a layout of bike stations for public bike-sharing systems entails selecting a number of stations and then constructing them within a planning area having many bike traffic zones and candidate bike stations. In this paper, we proposed a mathematical model to formulate the layout of public bike stations with the objective of minimizing users' total travel time and investment budget constraints. The model can guarantee that the needs for picking up and dropping off bikes amidst all bike travel demands are satisfied. Using this model, the number and locations of bike stations and the number of bikes and parking lockers at each bike station can be simultaneously determined. A typical example solved by LINGO solver is created to illustrate the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
