ABSTRACT

Over the past decades, Bike-Sharing Systems have been implemented in hundreds of cities all around the world. During this time, numerous academic studies have been published with analyses from different perspectives. The aim of this study is to build upon this research by bringing together a spatial and a temporal analysis of the cycling flow of BiciMAD, the Madrid Bike-Sharing System. By combining over 21 million GPS records and various maps the study visually explores cycling mobility patterns across the city on three different temporal scales: over the course of the day, during working days or weekends and over the course of a whole year to provide a better understanding of the season-dependent demand. The study also reveals the most important flows between origin-destination pairs and uncovers the radically different spatio-temporal travel patterns of frequent users and occasional users.

摘要

在过去的几十年中，自行车共享系统已在全球数百个城市中实施。在此期间，发表了许多学术研究，并从不同角度进行了分析。这项研究的目的是通过对马德里自行车共享系统BiciMAD的自行车流量的时空分析进行综合，以此为基础。通过将超过2100万个GPS记录和各种地图相结合，该研究在三个不同的时间尺度上以视觉方式探索了整个城市的自行车出行方式：在白天，工作日或周末以及全年，以提供更好的服务了解季节相关的需求。
