Bike Sharing Demand
Predicting bike-sharing demand is crucial for optimizing the efficiency and user experience of these increasingly popular urban transportation systems. Current research focuses on developing sophisticated forecasting models, employing techniques like graph neural networks, convolutional neural networks (including irregular convolutions), and deep learning frameworks enhanced with cartogram approaches to capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies and account for factors like user demographics and interactions with other transportation modes. These advancements aim to improve bike redistribution strategies, optimize station placement, and enhance overall system management. The resulting improvements in prediction accuracy have significant implications for both urban planning and the sustainability of bike-sharing programs.
