The Influence of Shared Bike Parking Space on City Environment and Citizens

Abstract

With the popularity of low-carbon transportation, the bike-sharing industry is developing rapidly and integrating into people’s lives. This paper includes the impact of bike-sharing on various aspects of cities, analyzing the current situation and recent strategies. Some opinions and optimization measures are put forward for problems related to shared bike systems. The emergence of bicycle sharing has brought many positive effects on urban operation. It can not only ease road congestion and solve the problem of "the last kilometer", but also reduce urban air pollution to a certain extent. However, it has also brought some social issues. A series of problems in the use and parking of bicycles have led to the occupation of public resources which caused people's distress. In response to the current imbalance between the rental and return of shared bicycles and the unreasonable distribution of parking spots, platforms have adopted measures such as setting up conventions and fines to restrain users. However, this could barely solve the problems of large piles of bicycles on the street. At present, for the problems of shared bicycles such as difficulty in recycling, over-aggregation of parking spots, and inconvenience of parking methods, this study proposes several methods to solve the related problems: 1) Refine the management partition and increase the recycling centers, and increase the efficiency of recycling by using manual small-scope marking of bicycles.2) Calculate the parking spot distribution model using the distribution of facilities in the spatial unit guided by the transportation partition. Then lay out the parking spots on demand in the cities of each line.2) Issue discounts to promote regulated behavior.
