Conclusion

The overarching goal of Team BIKES’ research is to increase bicycle usage on the University of Maryland campus to promote sustainability.  Team BIKES intends to attain this goal through the fabrication of a smartlock that would enable a campus bikeshare system.  The team has defined the different aspects of research necessary to be: (1) marketing, (2) mechanical characteristic of the lock, (3) method of wireless communication, and (4) geolocation system utilizing hardware and software.

The bikeshare enabled by the smartlock will be distinguished from other bikeshare programs.  It will be stationless which will provide improved flexibility in bicycle rental and returning.  Team BIKES hypothesizes that college campuses will favor a stationless bikeshare more than a stationed bikeshare since the area and diversity of destinations are more constrained.  The bikeshare will be operated primarily upon the functionality of the smartlock.

The smartlock envisioned by Team BIKES will be manufactured to withstand common methods of bicycle theft and vandalism.  Specific RFID tags assigned to students participating in the bikeshare will unlock it by communicating with the RFID reader integrated in the smartlock.  This communication channel will be encrypted to ensure user privacy and prevent attempts to compromise the system.  The bicycles’ locational data obtained from onboard GPS will be transferred via GSM to a database.  Utilizing this information, each bicycle will ultimately be mapped on a website for the users to locate available bicycles.

Having a campus specific bikeshare will reduce bicycle rack congestion and promote the use of biking. Users will be able to utilize bicycles, even if they do not own a bicycle or cannot bring one to campus. Increased bicycle usage on and around campus will reduce automobile traffic and parking congestion. Students living off campus will have the opportunity to use bikeshare bicycles to commute to the campus instead of using an automobile. This will encourage healthier living for students of the university and the surrounding community, moving the University of Maryland closer toward a sustainable campus.

Outreach


Outreach will allow Team BIKES to continuously expand their own knowledge of the state of current bikeshares.  The team will reach out to Capital Bikeshare as they will begin operations on campus as well as other colleges that implement bikeshare systems.  The team will actively pursue a dialogue with Capital Bikeshare to understand their success, goals, and any problems they have come across due to being in College Park.  The team will ask Capital Bikeshare their motivations for coming to College Park, whether it was to give the city easier access to D.C. or for the students of the University of Maryland to get around the campus and the city more efficiently.  The team will also like to know what differences Capital Bikeshare sees in running a bikeshare in a major city versus on a college campus and whether they have run into any problems on either location.  The goal of these interviews with Capital Bikeshare will be to get to know the problem areas of Capital Bikeshare on campus and off-campus and whether dockless bikeshare systems could solve certain problems on college campuses.

The team will also become familiar with other college bikeshare systems throughout the area to further expand existing bikeshare knowledge.  Colleges that operate bikeshares will give Team BIKES a grasp on the factors that make a successful college bikesharing system.  These colleges should have the following characteristics similar to the campus at University of Maryland: size of campus, weather patterns, student population and demographics,  geography on campus (amount of hills), and car-biker culture (Ashley, 2012). By analyzing how these factors affect the success of bikeshares on other college campuses, the team can make predictions about the optimal design of a bikeshare for the University of Maryland’s campus.

In conducting this research, the team desires to understand any current flaws with general bikeshares and more specifically, bikeshares on other college campuses.  By maintaining communication with operators of Capital Bikeshare, DOTS, and bikeshares of other college campuses, the team will collect data vital to the understanding of how bikeshares on campus are received by students and how a bikeshare with a smartlock and dockless system could improve college bikeshares.
