Abstract

Bike-Sharing Systems (BSSs) have been implemented in numerous cities around the world to reduce the traffic generated by motorized vehicles, due to the benefits they bring to the city, such as reducing congestion or decreasing pollution generation. Caused by their impact on urban mobility, the research community has increased their interest in their study, trying to understand user behavior and improving the user experience. This demonstration shows the simulator developed to analyze the impact of a variable incentive model for BSSs based on Agent-based Social Simulation. The model has been developed using data collected directly from BiciMad, the BSS of the city of Madrid, Spain. The developed simulator uses OpenStreetMaps as a route generator software. The simulated scenario for this demonstration consists of a 7-day series of simulations with different traffic flows to observe the impact of different policies according to different traffic intensity.
