contents A GIS approach based on user location to evaluate a bike-sharing program Juan David Zuluaga Diego Alexander Escobar Camilo Younes Ingeniería GPS users location allocation maximize coverage Over the past decade, bike-sharing systems (BSS) and Bike-sharing programs (BSP) have been implemented around the globe due to their benefits and for changing the established paradigm that the car is the main mode of transportation in urban areas. For that reason, one of the most important elements that needs careful planning is the location of the bike stations. This research evaluates the location of the BSP bike stations in a small Colombian city based on the location of the system’s users. Additionally, two alternatives are shown to achieve a better understanding of how the BSP could be well planned and consolidated. The results were obtained with a location-allocation model which assigns each user with an impedance value from each station. 2018 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49655628030 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49655628030/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49655628030/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49655628030/49655628030.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49655628030/movil 10.15446/dyna.v85n204.67670 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.204 Vol.85
