In recent years there has been a renewed
interest in utilitarian cycling due to its
recognized potential in the reduction of energy consumption and pollution in the cities.
BikeBike-sharing systems generate a large amount of data which can be used to improve the
systems themselves, or to improve the body of knowledge on urban mobility. The open
data automatically generated by the Brussel's bike bike-sharing system (Villo) is explored
through spatial regression models of the number of bicycle trips at stations. The main
goal of the modelling process is to understand if socio socio-economic, infrastructure and land
use factors influence mobility patterns in peak periods and weekdays. The first step of
the modelling process consists in setting up exploratory Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
models in order to identify potential explanatory variables. Finally, Geographically
Weighted Poisson Regression (GWPR) models and semi semi-parametric versions of GWPR
models are parametrised using the previously identified variables. The results show that
the relationships between the d dependent and independent variables are complex and
spatially varying. Furthermore, the results show hidden patterns that enable further local
investigation on these relationships. The weaknesses and strengths of our approach are
discussed, particularly its implementation in other geographic contexts and its potential
of generalisation for all bicycle trips.
