ENSTU 471 Fall 2016 Developing a Bike-Share Program for Salinas and CSUMB Introduction Bike-share programs are alternate forms of transportation most commonly found on college campuses or in city centers. These programs allow citizens, visitors, students and others to check-out a bike from a self-serve station and take it from point A to point B. Bike-share programs have grown worldwide at an increasing rate within the past decade. Image 1 shows that in 2001 there were only four worldwide cities that adopted a bike-share program, but that number dramatically increased from the years 2002 to 2014, when there were eight-hundred and fifty-five worldwide cities with bike-share programs.

This project points out that a key element in their success and sustainability is an understanding of the spatial patterns of supply and demand. This project tackles the re‐balancing issue where bikes must be removed from full stations and replenished at empty ones. Taking inspiration from the lot size problem, and capacitated vehicle routing, the project devises a rolling window approach to this problem, in essence representing the amount of foresight that the system planner can use to determine solutions.
