Spatial analysis of dynamic movements of Velo'v, Lyon's shared bicycle program

Public transportation systems like Lyon's bicycle community sharing pro- gram can be considered as a complex system composed of interconnected stations that exchange bicycles. Such system generates digital footprints that reveals the activity in the city over time and space and make possible their analyze. In this paper, the analysis deals with the spatial understanding and visualization of bicycle trips. We first study the activity in each station separately and then identify the main characteristics of the flow between stations.
