Abstract

Decision-makers around the world adopted Public Bicycle Sharing System (PBSS) due to its easy access at major strategic locations and its user-friendly operations. The documented studies identify various barriers and solutions for PBSS but study on identification of optimum solution for varied conditions is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to rank the barriers and solutions for PBSS implementation for Indian urban areas. As the framework is robust so methodology can apply globally. Initially, 31 PBSS barriers and 14 solutions were identified after reviewing literature and assessment from professionals. Finally, two Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methods (MCDM) were integrated to rank barriers and solutions for Indian cities using an expert opinion survey. The result shows that infrastructure barriers of the city, social barrier for cycling and travel characteristics barriers have more impact in the main criteria whereas presence of exclusive bicycle lane, government policies and provision of modified and e-bicycle are found to be the most optimum solutions and have potential to overcome the influence of barriers. The outcome of this research will help various stakeholders to develop pro-cycling policies, decision on financial resource allocation, understanding on the existing barriers and solutions to develop future policy to increase PBSS usage.

基于MCDM的公共自行车共享系统障碍排序与优化解决方案

世界各地的决策者都采用了公共自行车共享系统(PBSS)，因为它在主要战略地点方便访问，而且操作方便。文献研究确定了PBSS的各种障碍和解决方案，但在不同条件下确定最佳解决方案的研究有限。因此，本研究的目的是对印度城市地区实施PBSS的障碍和解决方案进行排名。由于框架是健壮的，因此方法可以在全球范围内应用。最初，在回顾文献和专业人士的评估后，确定了31个PBSS障碍和14个解决方案。最后，结合两种多标准决策方法(MCDM)，利用专家意见调查对印度城市的障碍和解决方案进行排名。结果表明，城市基础设施障碍、社会骑行障碍和出行特征障碍在主要标准中影响较大，而设置专用自行车道、政府政策和提供改装自行车和电动自行车是最优解决方案，具有克服障碍影响的潜力。本研究的结果将有助于各利益相关方制定支持自行车骑行的政策、财政资源分配决策、了解现有障碍以及制定未来政策以提高PBSS使用率的解决方案。

期刊介绍： Municipal Engineer publishes international peer reviewed research, best practice, case study and project papers reports. The journal proudly enjoys an international readership and actively encourages international Panel members and authors. The journal covers the effect of civil engineering on local community such as technical issues, political interface and community participation, the sustainability agenda, cultural context, and the key dimensions of procurement, management and finance. This also includes public services, utilities, and transport. Research needs to be transferable and of interest to a wide international audience. Please ensure that municipal aspects are considered in all submissions. We are happy to consider research papers/reviews/briefing articles.
