Abstract

This study employs the MATSim agent-based simulation model to analyse bike-sharing station locations by examining dynamic trip flows and individual behavioural changes. It explores demand on a microscopic scale, capturing the behaviour of multi-segment trips. A protocol was established to evaluate different station configurations’ impact on profitability and demand. Findings suggest that optimising the station count from 219 to 66 strategic locations can significantly enhance both revenue and operational efficiency. The simulation produces data on the number of users arriving and departing from each station in different configurations, indicating the size of each station. This data allows stations to be classified into three types: generator, attractor, and interchange; displaying their changes across different configurations. This quantification offers operators insights for predicting bike distribution and planning operational strategies. Considering spatial and built environment factors, the findings underscore the potential of bike-sharing stations to evolve into mobility hubs, offering valuable insights for policymakers.
