Since bicycles and bike-sharing systems are becoming increasingly important in modern transportation contexts, we suggest in this paper an alternative method to incorporate cycling among the freight transport alternatives within urban areas. We propose pursuing a sustainable initiative of crowdsourced delivery where some of the urban good deliveries may be voluntarily undertaken by users of the free-floating bike-sharing systems while following their prefixed route in exchange for some kind of reward. We believe that a network design model that allows properly allocating the resources of the bike-shared mobility service could improve the potential of crowdshipping, making it a viable support and supplement for the local postal services, and more easily accepted and adopted in urban contexts. An application to a case study has been embodied to show the effectiveness and advantages of our proposal.

The transport sector is currently facing a significant transition, with strong drivers includingdecarbonization and digitalization trends, especially in urban passenger transport. The availability ofmonitoring data is at the basis of the development of optimization models supporting an enhancedurban mobility, with multiple benefits including lower pollutants and CO2 emissions, lower energyconsumption, better transport management and land space use. This paper presents two datasetsthat represent time series with a high temporal resolution (five-minute time step) both for vehiclesand bike sharing use in the city of Turin, located in Northern Italy. These high-resolution profileshave been obtained by the collection and elaboration of available online resources providing liveinformation on traffic monitoring and bike sharing docking stations. The data are provided for theentire year 2018, and they represent an interesting basis for the evaluation of seasonal and dailyvariability patterns in urban mobility. These data may be used for different applications, rangingfrom the chronological distribution of mobility demand, to the estimation of passenger transportflows for the development of transport models in urban contexts. Moreover, traffic profiles are at thebasis for the modeling of electric vehicles charging strategies and their interaction with the powergrid.

This paper focuses on the efficiency evaluation of bike-sharing systems (BSSs) and develops an approach based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) to support the decisions regarding the performance evaluation of BSS stations. The proposed methodology is applied and tested for the Malmöbybike BSS in Malmö, Sweden. This was done by employing spatial analyses and data about the BSS usage trends as well as taking into account transport, land use, and socioeconomic context of the case study. The results of the application demonstrate consistency with the literature and highlight meaningful associations between the station relative efficiency and the urban context. More specifically, the paper provides in-depth knowledge about the preprocessing data, selection of input and output variables, and the underlying analytical approach to be potentially applied to other cases and urban contexts. Overall, the DEA-based methodology presented in this study could assist decision-makers and planners with developing operational strategies for planning and management of BSS stations and networks.

The current COVID-19 pandemic situation has a very significant impact on urban mobility, as evidenced by fundamental changes in passengers’ behavior. In many cases, passengers have switched to other modes of transport to minimize the risk of infection (particularly cycling and walking). This paper aims to point out the analysis results of the impacts of a bike-sharing system in the city of Košice before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this paper describes an analysis of the current state of bike-sharing in the Slovak Republic. We have stated a timeline of significant dates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant impact on people’s mobility and bike-sharing, as evidenced by the graphs and results in this paper.
