The is also the issue of dock balancing. You have x number of spaces on a dock. If traffic flows mostly one way during the day and the other way during the night then you get network weightings that are lopsided, so there is not enough dock space at popular dock A. As a result you need a very high dock capacity, potentially like 10x the amount of bikes for all docks.
- ShadowFaxSam 9y agoTo combat this problem DC puts out portable docks when higher traffic is expected. If there is an event or concert in a park, they can drive a van over and add more docks for that day. On a daily basis I think they do a pretty good job determining which networks need a higher capacity ie which docks in high traffic areas have a larger number of spaces.
