The scheduling of urban public bicycle rental system plays an essential role in the promotion
of public bicycle usage ratio. The key is reasonably predicting the future bicycle usage and ascertaining
the scheduling demand of single station. According to the analysis and induction of the historical rent-and-
return data and operating characteristic,the frequency of bicycles′ rent-and-return in single sta⁃
tion was predicted using BP Neural Network model. The average difference between predicted and real
values is about 3 units, and the curve fitting is good. It proves the high feasibility of the model. On this
basis, the best scheduling demand of single station was confirmed according to the principle of dynamic
balance of station saturation in scheduling time window. The case analysis of the central park in
Lucheng district, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province indicates that implementing the predicted schedule
on demand basis could shorten the hours of "no parking space to return" of the single station in the morning and evening busy period by more than 0.5h, thereby the service quality and satisfaction degree could
be enhanced effectively.
