International Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences (IJEAS) ISSN: 2394-3661, Volume-7, Issue-6, June 2020 51 www.ijeas.org Abstract— the public bicycle sharing system (PBSS) is considered as the most sustainable non-motorized transportation system. For the execution of the PBS system in the study area(East zone) of Surat city, this research paper discusses the planning and application of the Public Bicycle Sharing System by integrating with the Public Transportation system and providing free or fare based access to a bicycle for the particular study area. By performing Field surveys and analyzing the collected data, major stations with potential demand areas like high population density, activity centers, and public transport stations are recognized. An accessibility analysis was carried out to calculate the volume of activity to which a major station has access. Drawing upon a review of people this Project targets to build the evidence base to increase our understanding of PBS implementation as an important first step in planning for a low-carbon society. The purpose of this system is to make a mind-set of adopting pollution-free transport which will consequently lead to a reduction in carbon footprint. This study also provided a calculation of carbon footprint reduction in a whole year if PBSS will implement in the study area. I. INTRODUCTION It is a bitter truth that with the development of cities, the world is in front of numerous issues like traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Therefore, the adoption of the GREEN transport system to overcome or shrink the crucial influences of such issues is imperative. Hence, the administration tries to attract commuters towards sustainable transport to sort out these difficulties. One of the attempts in developed and developing countries is the implementation of a public bicycle sharing system in their urban area. Public bicycle sharing (PBS) system is a flexible form of transport that comprise of a dense network of the cycle on a rental basis (Sun et al. 2017) (Fishman, Washington, and Haworth 2012). Bicycle sharing permits users to use bicycles on an as required purpose apart from costs and responsibility related to owing it (Feng and Li 2016). As per the bike-sharing world map as on Dec.2017, there are more than 370 cities functioning bicycle sharing systems in addition to around 250 being planned in more than 30 nations(Patel, Patel, and Joshi 2019). Approximately, 0.6 Million bicycle fleet operated around the globe as in 2017(Patel, Patel, and Joshi 2019). Developing countries like China also have implemented the PBS system, but they are facing issues regarding less ridership (Feng and Li 2016) (No Title 2011). Even in India PBS system has been implemented in 15 cities under smart city missions, but a majority of them have issues of less ridership (Patel, Patel, and Joshi 2019). Numerous factors are documented for the less ridership includes the habit of personalized mobility option, limited docking station, an unplanned network of bicycle lanes, and missing connectivity with public transportation(Campbell et al. 2016). Besides this, India also has the potential to escalate PBSS ridership if these factors are dealt with before planning the PBSS (Campbell et al. 2016). At the planning stage, if the city administration knows the peoples willing to use, pay, and probable mode shift to the PBSS then they could make strategy accordingly. Therefore, the present study is carried out House-hold (HH) survey to know insights of user’s perception of the planning and design of PBSS. The prime motive of the study is to understand the present mode share scenario, activity pattern, and societal status of residents of the study area of Surat city and based on that analysis planning of PBSS is proposed (Yang et al. 2016). For the study total, 254 valid surveys were taken through a survey form. This leads to analyze data more efficiently and provide the right information of commuters. A total of 35 questions were asked to users in questionnaires to get different information such as demographic data, the origin-destination pattern of the trip, willingness to use(WTU), willingness to shift(WTS), and willingness to pay(WTP) for PBS service, etc.(Yang et al. 2016). The number of survey sample depends upon variation of density, area, and population of each ward in the study area. These Collected data further analyzed concerning ITDP (Institution for Transportation and Development Policy) guidelines. The location of the docking station is decided based on optimizing different layers obtained through survey analysis of O-D pattern, public transit stop, Intra para-transit stops, willing to walk for a docking station, willing to ride a bicycle, etc. in ArcGIS software. Final locations are classified as small, medium, and large docking stations according to their observed demand. Finally, based on probable trip generation and mode shift scenarios, the impact of reducing carbon footprint, CO2 emission, and carbon credit are measured. Moreover, the financial aid received through the trading of carbon credits will help to cultivate sustainable infrastructural projects in urban areas. This framework will help city administration to utilized available financial possessions in an optimum way to developed PBSS as well as enhance the cities live ability and quality of life.
