Evaluation-method for a Station Based Urban-pedelec Sharing System

AbstractIn the context of a national research project in the field of electric mobility, the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, managed by the department of traffic engineering, cooperates with the German Railway Network (DB) to integrate pedal electrical bicycles (Pedelecs) into the existing scheme of the public bike sharing system in Munich, known as Call a Bike. The primary objectives investigated within this study are to find a strategy for a model-based distribution of charging-stations, to implement docking-stations and electric bicycles, and to analyze the mobility patterns of possible customers. A model to simulate bike traffic and the special needs for electrical bikes will be developed as well
