Abstract

Regarding the necessity of developing transportation infrastructures and its increasing importance in urban issues, nowadays in different cities, bicycles are considered the main and sustainable vehicle along with walking and drawing more attention day by day. The case considers highly paramount since preservation of the environment, natural resources, and energy is one of the significant pillars of sustainable development, and urban transportation intensively influences it. Thus, Bicycle Sharing System (BSS) is recognized as an innovative urban transportation option that meets the citizens’ demand for commuting during the day. The BSS can highly affect the level of citizens’ health, and it can be counted as one of the leading health programs whether it’s added to the public transportation system, it can help the culture to be created to use bicycles instead of cars in most of the internal trips, and also it can be so influential in decreasing the air pollution and in the following its harmful effects on health issues. The mathematical model of rebalancing multi-zone BSS with mobile stations and applying maintenance constraints in a static status is considered in this research. The objective function of this research is a single-objective one, which is modeled with the aims of reducing the costs of traveled distances by the tracks within and outside the zones, reducing the costs of intact and defective bicycles transportation within and outside the zones, and eventually, reducing the costs of surplus bicycles depot at the stations. This issue is a multi-product one that includes different types of bicycles and balancing tracks. Computational results confirm the model’s efficiency. Also, sensitivity analysis has been done to prove that the model is affected by both parameters of storage costs of surplus bicycles and transportation costs within and outside the zones.

提出了带移动站点的多区域共享单车系统库存平衡的数学模型，并应用了维护约束

考虑到发展交通基础设施的必要性及其在城市问题中的重要性，如今在不同的城市，自行车和步行一样被认为是主要的可持续交通工具，并日益受到人们的关注。这个案例非常重要，因为环境、自然资源和能源的保护是可持续发展的重要支柱之一，而城市交通对可持续发展的影响很大。因此，自行车共享系统(BSS)被认为是一种创新的城市交通选择，满足了市民白天通勤的需求。BSS可以高度影响公民的健康水平，它可以算作是一个领先的健康项目，如果它被添加到公共交通系统，它可以帮助创造在大多数国内旅行中使用自行车而不是汽车的文化，它也可以在减少空气污染方面产生如此大的影响，以及它对健康问题的有害影响。本文研究了在静态状态下应用维护约束的多区域BSS移动站再平衡的数学模型。本研究的目标函数为单目标函数，其建模的目的是降低区域内外轨道行驶距离的成本，降低区域内外完好自行车和有缺陷自行车的运输成本，最终降低站点剩余自行车存放的成本。这个问题是一个多产品的问题，包括不同类型的自行车和平衡轨道。计算结果证实了该模型的有效性。通过敏感性分析，证明了模型同时受到剩余自行车存放成本和区域内外运输成本参数的影响。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
