In this study, we focused on the bike replenishment strategies for the public bicycle system, YouBike System, in Taipei. YouBike System refers to the “rent-it-here, leave-it-there” bike sharing service provided by the Taipei City Government. Recently, the bicycle system has become popular and has been used by over one million riders. During the rush hours, when people go on or off duty, there would be: (1) no bicycle for renting at the particular rental stations; or (2) no space to park bicycles at the rental stations near schools or MRT stations. These problems can be troublesome to many users/members of the YouBike System. In order to mimic the YouBike System in Taipei, we used computer simulation software to simulate the movement of the bicycles from one bicycle station to other bicycle station. As a result, our goal is to build an on-line monitoring system to provide real-time usage of the bikes and parking space of all YouBike stations. Feasible solutions and optimal strategies were proposed in this study to move bicycles between bicycle rental stations to balance: (1) number of bicycles in the rental station; and (2) number of available parking space for the bicycles in the bicycle rental station.
