• Abstract: Bicycle-sharing systems (BSS) have become a daily reality for many citizens of larger, wealthier cities in developed regions. However, planning the layout of bicycle-sharing stations usually requires expensive data gathering, surveying travel behavior and trip modelling followed by station layout optimization. Many smaller cities and towns, especially in developing areas, may have difficulty financing such projects. Planning a BSS also takes a considerable amount of time. Yet as the pandemic has shown us, municipalities will face the need to adapt rapidly to mobility shifts, which include citizens leaving public transport for bicycles. Laying out a bike sharing system quickly will become critical in addressing the increase in bike demand. This paper addresses the problem of cost and time in BSS layout design and proposes a new solution to streamline and facilitate the process of such planning by using spatial embedding methods. Based only on publicly available data from OpenStreetMap, and station layouts from 34 cities in Europe, a method has been developed to divide cities into micro-regions using the Uber H3 discrete global grid system and to indicate regions where it is worth placing a station based on existing systems in different cities using transfer learning. The result of the work is a mechanism to support planners in their decision making when planning a station layout with a choice of reference cities.

  Street-level bicycle volume information would aid cities in planning targeted infrastructure improvements to encourage cycling. The data currently available to cities and citizens often only comes from sparsely located counting stations. This paper extrapolates bicycle volume beyond these few locations to estimate bicycle volume for the entire city of Berlin.

• Smart Recommendations for Renting Bikes in Bike Sharing Systems [1.5115914900997285]
  Vehicle-sharing systems have become increasingly popular in big cities in recent years. One of their advantages is their availability, e.g., the possibility of taking (or leaving) a vehicle almost anywhere in a city. Agglutination problems -- where, due to usage patterns, available vehicles are concentrated in certain areas, whereas no vehicles are available in others -- are quite common in such systems. We present and compare strategies for recommending stations to users who wish to rent or return bikes in station-based bike-sharing systems.

  We develop the IPDC procedure (Identify, Prioritize, Decluster, Classify) for finding the most important missing links in urban bicycle networks. We first identify all possible gaps following a multiplex network approach, prioritize them according to a flow-based metric, decluster emerging gap clusters, and manually classify the types of gaps. Our results show how network analysis with minimal data requirements can serve as a cost-efficient support tool for bicycle network planning.

We achieve state of the art results on the nuScenes and Euro-PVI datasets demonstrating the importance of capturing interactions between ego-vehicle and pedestrians (bicyclists) for accurate predictions.
