Abstract:

The spatial mismatch between demand and supply over time is a significant concern in a bike-share service. One primary strategy to fill the mismatch is to rebalance a shared bike fleet by vans or trucks. The more vans operators use to meet the demand, the more vehicle miles traveled (VMT) the system produces, offsetting the VMT reduction benefit that was at least a part of the motivation for the city to authorize the service. Another approach to the problem is an incentive-based approach to rebalancing a fleet. This approach incentivizes users to walk farther to get a bike from the oversupplied area (origin-based incentives) or to take a bike to the undersupplied area (destination-based incentives) by offering some reward, such as free bike-share use or a prize of some sort. This approach has proven to be successful in docked bike-share services, but the potential in the context of dock-less bike-share services is unknown. This dissertation examines the potential effect of an incentive-based approach to rebalancing a dock-less e-bikeshare fleet on bike-share use and social benefits, focusing mainly on VMT reduction, using a e-bike-share service in the Sacramento area, CA.
