Sustainable Strategies for the Successful Operation of the Bike-Sharing System Using an Ordinal Priority Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Over 700 bike-sharing systems are currently in operation worldwide, and the number of systems has grown quickly in recent years. Rwanda's bike-sharing system has only recently begun operations and has encountered numerous challenges. The current study used an Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA) to examine these challenges and provide an acceptable strategy for overcoming them. Five strategies have been established. These strategies are prioritized using four criteria. The results indicate that “theft” and “damage of some bikes when being returned” are the most critical challenges while the first alternative “improving the current bike infrastructure to better serve the bike share system” is the appropriate strategy to overcome these challenges for a successful operation of the bike share system. Taking into account the findings, recommendations were provided to help local administrative bodies handle these challenges.
