PROJECT TITLE :

Stochastic Petri Net Modeling, Simulation and Analysis of Public Bicycle Sharing Systems

ABSTRACT:

Public Bicycle-Sharing Systems (PBSS) are appearing in a lot of and more cities around the world in the previous few years. Although their apparent success as an alternate form of public transportation mode, there are major challenges confronting the operators whereas few scientific works are on the market to support such advanced dynamical systems to influence their economic viability and operational potency. One amongst the most crucial factors for the success of a PBS system is its ability to confirm that bicycles are obtainable for decide up and vacant berths offered for bicycle drop off at each station. In this paper, we have a tendency to develop an explicit discrete event approach for modelling and performance evaluation of public bicycle-sharing systems by using Petri nets with time, inhibitor arcs and variable arc weights.
