Abstract

Dockless bicycle-sharing is one of the novel transportation modes that emerged in recent years. As a component of the public transit system, it plays an important part in connecting the urban metro system but also generates some problems. With the low parking turnover rate, the oversupply of bicycles will generate parking demand and occupy a large amount of urban public land. To make the dockless bicycle-sharing service a more effective travel mode for connecting the metro system, it is necessary to implement policy zoning with different management strategies for efficient land utilization in the dockless bicycle-sharing system. In this paper, the bicycle-sharing trips data and the metro trips data are utilized to extract indexes to assess the connection performance and operation potential between the bicycle-sharing system and metro transit system. A methodology of coverage area division and policy zoning based on cycling attraction area areas is used. Applying the methodology proposed to a case study in Shanghai, the metro stations in Shanghai are classified into four clusters with different characteristics, including stations with effective land utilization, stations with the potential to promote BS service, stations with deficiencies in BS service, and stations with the potential to improve the land utilization efficiency. According to the different demand patterns and operation performance of the four clusters, corresponding policy suggestions are proposed.
