With urbanization on the rise, these systems present a viable solution to reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation sector and combat environmental impact. However, for BSS to be effective, they must operate efficiently; otherwise, users are less likely to adopt them. Understanding the patterns and trends of GIRA – Bicicletas de Lisboa, Lisbon’s public docked BSS, is essential for maintaining proper operation and ensuring Lisbon's investment in BSS to promote a more sustainable city. Despite the popularity of BSS, a significant research gap remains concerning Lisbon's BSS, particularly in understanding dock occupancy rates and seasonal fluctuations. This study's primary aim is to identify and analyse distinct occupancy patterns of bike stations throughout the different seasons of the year and understand their geographic context. The study uses time series to capture occupancy patterns over time for stations, grouping them using three clustering algorithms: Hierarchical Clustering, K-Means, and DBSCAN. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is employed to compare the time series data, and DTW Barycentre Averaging is used to visualize the final time series for each cluster. A geographic distribution analysis of stations and an assessment of nearby points of interest were also conducted. The findings reveal two main types of stations: commercial stations and residential stations, each exhibiting unique occupancy patterns consistent across all seasons. Commercial stations are centrally located and dispersed throughout Lisbon, whereas residential stations are more linear and concentrated near the river. Both types frequently appear near gardens, parks, and educational facilities, with residential stations often located near schools. These results reflect typical urban movement patterns, showing that GIRA effectively meets Lisbon residents' transportation needs for daily commutes and routine activities, despite challenges in maintaining bike availability.Neto, Miguel de Castro Simões FerreiraAlpalhão, Nuno Tiago FalcãoRUNRibeiro, Margarida Maria Garcia Sequeira2024-10-282025-10-28T00:00:00Z2024-10-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/174370TID:203778030enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-01-13T01:40:52Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/174370Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T19:12:43.976688Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
