Redistributing bikes has been a major challenge for the daily operation of bike sharing system around the world. Existing literature explore solution strategies that rely on pick-up-and-delivery routing as well as user incentivization approaches. The key contribution of this work is to introduce the use of portable bike stations to augment the capacity of fixed stations in the context of redistribution. A comprehensive framework to optimally locate, route and redistribute bike using portable stations is proposed using a sequence of Mixed Integer Programs. This strategic and operational decision making process is modeled in two stages. A decomposition based solutionstrategy is used to solve and fix the strategic decisions.
