17. Evaluation Study on the City Bicycle Rental System

Evaluation study on city bicycle rental system plays an extremely important role in the work of the whole city’s transportation. The quality and the service level of the rental system’s construction will influence the effects of citizens’ using it and the improving of the city’s transportation problems. However, there still has not a very independent and perfect evaluation system of the public bicycle rental studies so far in China. Based on the principle of selecting index, this thesis is going to divide the evaluation studies on city bicycle rental system into three index systems, namely the rental network design, infrastructure system and management system, by which it can build a scientific and rational evaluation system. By using the Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP), transacting qualitative index into quantitative index, confirming every index weight, finally there could be a bicycle rental system evaluation value after a comprehensive analysis. Also proceeding an empirical study from the applicative angle to verify the practicality and the feasibility of this article’s evaluation theory and method.
