  7. Abstract:
  8. Urban transportation is one of the key parameters and indicators that determine the sustainable development of the city, in other words, to understand and evaluate the sustainability of a city, its transportation system must be considered. Bicycles can be considered the most sustainable means of urban transportation not only for short trips but also for medium trips.Urban bike networks in major cities are being systematically serviced and, like any other system to manage this volume of events, are facing challenges that we aim to improve one of the major costs of this system. The biggest challenge we face on this network is the imbalance between Inbound and outbound bicycles at different times of the day. This imbalance has resulted in a shortage of bicycles at some stations and a surplus of bicycles at some other stations. As a result, people sometimes have to go to another station to get a bicycle because of a lack of bicycles. Also, on the contrary, sometimes due to the lack of vacancies, people are not able to put their bikes in and are forced to go to another adjacent station with vacancies. To avoid these problems, some trucks have been provided to perform rebalancing bicycles between different stations. In this project we are trying to improve the performance of these trucks by improving the model of rebalancing bicycles so that costs are minimized and the true demand of each station is met. The example of these networks are native to our country called the BDOOD Smart Bike Network, but due to our lack of access to their information,we went to one of the largest and most well-organized of these kinds of smart city bike sharing networks in NewYork city
