We depict the inner workings of the program and its problems, focusing on possible causes. We include analyses of public bicycle systems throughout the world and the design rationale behind them. Our report also examines the technology underlying “smart-bike” systems, comparing the advantages and costs relative to coin deposit bikes. We conclude with recommendations on possible allocation of the City Bike Foundation’s resources to increase the quality of service to the community, while improving the publicity received by the city of Copenhagen. 1 Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following for making this project successful. First, we thank WPI and the Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division for providing off- campus project sites. By organizing this Copenhagen project, Tom Thomsen and Peder Pedersen provided us with unique personal experiences of culture and local customs. Our advisor, James Demetry, helped us considerably throughout the project. His suggestions gave us the motivation and encouragement to make this project successful and enjoyable. We thank Kent Ljungquist for guiding us through the preliminary research and proposal processes and Paul Davis who, during a weekly visit, gave us a new perspective on our objectives.

  • The Analysis of Carsharing Market in Polish Cities Submitted 10/11/20, 1St Revision 14/12/20, 2Nd Revision 10/01/21, Accepted 18/02/21
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXIV, Issue 1, 2021 pp. 87-98 The Analysis of Carsharing Market in Polish Cities Submitted 10/11/20, 1st revision 14/12/20, 2nd revision 10/01/21, accepted 18/02/21 Radosław Korneć1 Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this paper is to show the development of car sharing in Polish cities. The main focus was put on the demand on this sort of services and the range of cars offered as a part of these services. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research study covers changes in the car sharing market in Poland. The author concentrates on core criteria, such as rental prices, vehicle types, location, and the system of renting and returning vehicles. The study employs a comparative analysis. Findings: When analyzing car sharing services in Poland, one should keep in mind the fact that it is a new profile of activity, still under development. Therefore, companies are not willing to share information which may be unfavorable and could generate negative opinions about the service. Practical Implications: One of the key concerns of the urban transport system in Poland is increasing access to automobiles. Car sharing as an element of the sharing economy lowers car ownership rates, which contributes to a reduction of car traffic and noise volumes, an increase in parking spots availability, and cleaner air. Originality/Value: Subject literature rarely mentions car sharing in Poland; it is scarce and usually consists in journal and news articles, typically online. Keywords: Car-sharing, sharing economy, sustainable urban development, urban transport, Poland. JEL Codes: R41, Q01, O18, N70.

  • The Provo Bicycle Trick: Radical Form As Vehicle for Pedestrian Content Alan Smart Published in Russian Translation, the New Literary Observer, September 2012
    The Provo Bicycle Trick: Radical Form as Vehicle for Pedestrian Content Alan Smart Published in Russian Translation, The New Literary Observer, September 2012 The pamphlet bearing the title PROVO’s Fietsenplan (Provo’s Bicycle Plan) is addressed to “Amsterdammers” and begins with a polemical assertion couched in a mixture of terms borrowed from leftist militancy and the ecstatic, surrealist (or merely absurdist) mysticism of beatnik rhetoric: “The asphalt terror of the motorized bourgeoisie has gone on long enough. Accident victims are human sacrifices offered up to the new authority to which the masses have surrendered: the automotive authority. Carbon monoxide is his stifling incense, his image [effigy] has ruined canals and streets in their thousands.”1 The pamphlet appeared on the streets of Amsterdam in 1966 announcing a “happening” called the Witte Fietsenplan or “White Bicycle Plan”. The plan’s author was an industrial designer named Luud Schimmelpennink who had fallen in with a group of nozems (hooligans or bored, shiftless youth in popular Dutch parlance) known as the Provos. Schimmelpennink’s plan called for a fleet of fifty bicycles to be painted white and, in a parallel act of anti-authoritarian sacrifice, made available to the public to be used as desired and, afterward, left unlocked to be taken by others. As a practical “plan” — in the sense of a “business plan”, or of city planning — the Witte Fietsenplan is a reasonable, if optimistic, piece of transportation-management thinking that has inspired a range of campus bicycle sharing and urban bike rental schemes aimed at providing flexible, emissions-free alternatives to private cars.

  • Going Dutch a New Moment for Carsharing in the Netherlands
    Going Dutch A New Moment for Carsharing in the Netherlands This project aims to inform local and national government leaders and planners about the state of the art in planning, expanding and integrating carsharing into the broader sustainable transport and emerging new mobility strategies of towns and cities of all sizes GOING DUTCH Abstract This report informs local and national government on latest developments in the fast- growing field of carsharing, in an attempt to put this relatively recent concept into a broader strategic planning frame. Carsharing has over the last decade proven itself to be an effective transport option which is, or at least should be, a key element of an integrated mobility strategy for people and for cities. It is a thrifty transport mode and is largely self-financing. People choose to carshare because they see it as a better way to get around for a portion of their daily trips. Properly positioned it offers real potential for energy savings, pollution reduction, and reduced requirement for expensive public investments in infrastructure to support cars or conventional public transport. Until recently however the sector has been largely neglected by national governments -- and has for the most part been treated on an ad hoc basis, if at all, by, the cities and villages who are the primary beneficiaries and partners. This report is also intended to be useful to the international reader wishing to know more about progress in the Netherlands, on the grounds that the Dutch are among the world leaders in the field. a popular English-language expression which refers to the practice of people each covering their own costs when dining together or sharing other events in which there is an amount to be paid.

  • Bikes on Dikes: a Dutch Plan for (Almost) Free Wheeling
    Bikes on Dikes: a Dutch plan for (almost) free wheeling Joep Huffener, Cycling Officer, Department of Infrastructure, Traffic and Transport of the City of Amsterdam, Postbus 95089, 1090 HB Amsterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] Summary Inner cities are becoming more and more congested. City dwellers and visitors are subjected to air pollution and noise. Access to and travel within the city centres is problematic. In order to maintain a reasonable environment within inner cities it is vital to connect established traffic styles with alternative methods of transport. To make cycling more accessible, the city of Amsterdam supported by a group of companies (KPN Telecom, Chipper Nederland, The Amsterdam municipal Transport Company GVB, the Postbank and Y-Tech innovation centre) are introducing an individual public transport system that will put 750 white public bikes at some 45 depositories across town. GVB, the municipal Transport Company will act as operator, because they think of it as individual public transport. The public bicycle (White Bike) is clearly distinguishable from private bikes by its special design. The White bike has no lock because it is not intended to be parked anywhere outside the depos. Replacing the bike in the parking rack at the destination site results in automatically locking the bike, charging the battery and ending the rent period. The white bike transport system is a network of unmanned “parking lots” (depo) where White bikes await the passenger The passenger inserts a chipcard, transfers payment, takes a bicycle out of the parking rack and proceeds to the White bike depo of choice.
