Bike rental service combine sightseeing with exercise, is always a popular public transport. In Taiwan, Youbike is a well-known brand of public bike rental service, however, in China, they have another type of bike rental service, which is a fully station-less bicycle-sharing system. Except to find out the difference between the two type of bike rental service and each of their problems, this research also wants to solve current bike rental service encountered difficulties by using blockchain technology and smart contract, and to make a feasible solution for the realization of bicycle sharing economy. Keywords - Blockchain, Smart Contract, Sharing Economy, Bike Rental I. INTRODUCTION Denmark, Germany and France, America also have their own bike sharing system. But compared with Bicycle rental service has been in place for years, now China’s bike sharing markets, Europe and the United the trend of sharing economy also goes viral on States seems not so strong as China, some operators bicycle market. Bicycle rental service can be divided were quit due to operating loss and lack of funds. into two types, one is fixed stations mode, like common bicycle rental service, the other is station-less Problems in bike sharing bicycle-sharing system, which is more innovative way China’s bike sharing systems are both station-less, and to rent a bike. other countries are still using fixed Stations mode to Compared to traditional bicycle rental service, provide bicycle rental service, but gradually imitate station-less bicycle-sharing system is more convenient China, come up with station-less bicycle-sharing because it doesn’t need to go to a specific location to system. On the other hand, from the bicycle rental rent or return a bike. But it still caused some problem, payment point of view, people in China use mobile like people might illegal parking when they couldn’t payment, and Europe and the United States area use find a legal place to park their bike, or if there doesn’t credit card to pay. have enough bikes on the road, it will harder to find a Whether it is fixed stations mode or station-less mode, bike than fixed station mode because it’s too both of them have pros and cons individually.

  • Civil Society Organisations Advancing Cycling
    Civil Society Organisations Advancing Cycling Reflections on the Bicycle Partnership Program Experiences| Interface for cycling expertise The role of CSO’s in the implementation of public bicycle systems February 2011 Authors Jeroen Buis Zé Lobo Reviewers Tom Godefrooij Irene Frieling Interface for Cycling Expertise [email protected] 26 | Interface for Cycling Expertise | 333 The role of CSO’s in the implementation of public bicycle systems 3.1 Introduction 3.1.13.1.13.1.1 About this essay This essay is about public bicycle systems and the role that civil society organisations (CSOs) can play in the set up and management of these systems. In the past decade urban public bicycle systems have mushroomed around the globe as a successful form of non%motorised public transport. Dozens of systems have been implemented in Europe, but their popularity has recently also spread to North%America, South%America and Asia. In this essay, special attention will be paid to public bicycle systems in developing countries; a very new and interesting phenomenon. This essay is of interest for those who want to understand more about public bicycle systems in general and about public bicycle systems in developing countries and the possible role of CSOs in the process, in particular. The essay should also be of interest to policy makers in cities which consider implementing a public bicycle system and to CSOs that want to push the issue. In most cases public bicycle systems are implemented by a company which works together with the local authority. In some cases however, civil society organisations, in most cases organisations representing certain groups of urban cyclists, have played a role in the development, implementation and for promotion of these systems.

  • Trends and Present Situation of Road Traffic Accidents
    2. Efforts to Assure Safe and Comfortable Mobility Associate Professor, Graduate School of Trends and Present Situation Environmental Science, Okayama University 2-1 of Road Traffic Accidents Seiji Hashimoto After the latest peak in 1992, the number of traffic fatalities has shown a downward trend; in 2009, it dropped to less than 5000 (4914 lives lost). There has also been a continuous reduction in recent years in the number of traffic accidents and the number of casualties; obviously, various efforts made in the past have started to pay off. A look at the details of traffic accidents By age: accidents involving young people (age 20 to 29) have noticeably decreased, and are now less than those involving people 50 to 59 years old. By means of transportation: for bicycles, which are popular as eco-friendly transportation, the number of fatalities has leveled off; but the bicycle accidents involving pedestrians are increasing; there is a need for traffic safety education that aims at better cycling practices and the managing of space for safe cycling. Fig. 1 Changes in the numbers of fatalities and injuries Table 1 The ten prefectures with the highest casualties: from traffic accidents, and changes in the number number of traffic casualties per 100,000 of accidents ■ The number of fatalities from traffic accidents decreased inhabitants and per 10,000 vehicles in 2009 steadily, as did the number of accidents and the number of Casualties per 100,000 people Casualties per 10,000 vehicles injuries.

  • Overall Bike Effectiveness As a Sustainability Metric for Bike Sharing Systems
    sustainability Article Overall Bike Effectiveness as a Sustainability Metric for Bike Sharing Systems Bernardo Nugroho Yahya Department of Industrial and Management Engineering, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 81-Oedae-ro, Mohyeon-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi-do 17035, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-330-4941 Received: 29 September 2017; Accepted: 4 November 2017; Published: 14 November 2017 Abstract: Bike sharing systems (BSS) have been widely accepted as an urban transport scheme in many cities around the world. The concept is recently expanded and followed by many cities to offer citizen a “green” and flexible transportation scheme in urban areas. Many works focus on the issues of bike availability while the bike performance, i.e., life cycle issues and its sustainability, for better management has been abandoned. As a consequence, mismanagement of BSS would lead to cost inefficiency and, the worst case, end with operation termination. This study proposes a design science approach by developing an Overall Bike Effectiveness (OBE) framework. By incorporating the concept of overall equipment analysis (OEE), the proposed framework is used to measure the bike utilization. Accordingly, the OBE is extended into Theoretical OBE to measure the sustainability of the early-stage of BSS. The framework has been verified and evaluated using a real dataset of BSS. The proposed method provides valuable results for benchmarking, life cycle analysis, system expansion and strategy planning toward sustainability. The paper concludes with a discussion to show the impact of the proposed approach into the real practices of BSS including an outlook toward sustainability of BSS. Keywords: bike sharing system; overall bike effectiveness; sustainability 1.

  • Victoria Bike Share Program Planning and Design
    Victoria Bike Share Program Plannin g and Design 2012 Jessie Abraham Tim Cheng Ryan Cook Lee Haney Callum McClure Alasdair Rothnie Philip Sikorski Prepared for the City of Victoria 11/30/2012 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS SITE SELECTION CRITERIA DEMAND 3 SUPPLY 11 ADMINISTRATIVE & MARKET RESEARCH 18 SITE SELECTION 25 ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY 38 REFERENCES 53 2 DEMAND A key component of Site Selection Criteria is determining demand levels required for the Bike Share Program. The feasibility of the program will be based on demographics of the City of Victoria, including population size & density, topography and climate. Demand will not only be determined by number of residents, but also by non-residents resulting from the tourist industry. In consideration of seasonal population variations, climate will also play a role in ridership throughout the year. By evaluating existing conditions of the city and comparing them to other bike share programs worldwide, we can determine the number of bikes required for the City of Victoria. POPULATION SIZE & DENSITY POPULATION GROWTH • In 2008, the Capital Region as a whole had a population of about 364,000, while the City of Victoria had a population of approximately 83,000, and the Downtown Core Area had a population of about 6,050. • According to population forecasts from the Capital Regional District (CRD), the Capital Region’s population will increase to 390,000 by 2016, and to 475,000 by 2038. This represents a 31 percent increase, or 111,000 new residents, in the next 30 years. The CRD estimates that Victoria’s share of that growth will be approximately an additional 20,000 residents, for a total population of just over 100,000 by 2041.
