Layout Optimization of Campus Bike-Sharing Parking Spots

The rapid development of bike sharing has posed some challenges to the traffic management on campus. The bike sharing on campus has problems such as messy parking, and some buildings in the peak hours have no bikes to borrow. Thus, alternative parking spots are proposed based on the layout principle...

description The rapid development of bike sharing has posed some challenges to the traffic management on campus. The bike sharing on campus has problems such as messy parking, and some buildings in the peak hours have no bikes to borrow. Thus, alternative parking spots are proposed based on the layout principle of parking spots for bicycles. An optimization model of the layout of campus bike-sharing parking spots with travel time and construction cost as the optimization goal is established, and the branch and bound algorithm is used to solve the model. Finally, the study analysis is carried out by optimizing the layout of the bike-sharing parking spot of Nanjing University of Science and Technology. The results show that, after optimizing the layout of parking spots, the average travel time of users is reduced by 6.0%, and the total construction cost is reduced by 27.3%. While being convenient for campus bike-sharing users, it also provides scientific decision-making support for the campus traffic management.
