- Abstract
In the paper, we propose a novel method to analyze the rebalancing of the free-floating bike-sharing system. First, we construct a visualization method to analyze the rebalancing of the system. Then, for the first time, we set up a coarse-grained way to study dynamics rebalancing during rush hours. Finally, we complete the empirical analysis with the real-time cycling data of the Nanjing Mobike Sharing-bike Company. The results show that: static rebalancing is weak, and dynamic rebalancing during rush hours is serious. Therefore, increasing the number of shared bikes in parking spots can ease the rebalancing. At the same time, we find that commuting to and from work is not the main factor that constitutes the rebalancing of the free-floating bike-sharing system, though the rebalancing is proportional to travel frequency.
