This paper presents the design and deployment of a bike-sharing system developed for Lisbon. The design of this new service is performed through an heuristic, encompassing a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP), that simultaneously optimise the location of shared biking stations, the fleet dimension and measuring the bicycle relocation activities required in a regular operation day. The results obtained for the several tested scenarios provided better insights into knowing how to improve the design and operation of these systems.
Martinez et al. REF simultaneously optimize the location of shared biking stations and measure the bicycle relocation activities required in a regular operation day through the Mixed Integer Linear Program.
