公共自行车共享计划已在全球数百个城市部署，以社会公平和环境可持续的方式改善了流动性。然而，服务质量受到车站之间自行车分布不平衡的严重影响。我们分两个阶段解决这个问题。首先，我们估计未来给定时间段内每个车站的未满足需求（缺少免费储物柜或缺少自行车）以及该时间段开始时每个可能的自行车数量。在第二阶段，我们使用这些估计来指导我们的再分配算法。计算结果使用真实的数据从自行车共享系统在帕尔马马略卡岛（西班牙）的报告。
Public bike-sharing programs have been deployed in hundreds of cities worldwide, improving mobility in a socially equitable and environmentally sustainable way. However, the quality of the service is drastically affected by imbalances in the distribution of bicycles among stations. We address this problem in two stages. First, we estimate the unsatisfied demand (lack of free lockers or lack of bicycles) at each station for a given time period in the future and for each possible number of bicycles at the beginning of the period. In a second stage, we use these estimates to guide our redistribution algorithms. Computational results using real data from the bike-sharing system in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) are reported.
