Treffer: Re-Usable Workflow for Collecting and Analyzing Open Data of Valenbisi.

This paper proposes a general workflow for collecting and analyzing open data from Bicycle Sharing Systems (BSSs) that was developed using data from the Valenbisi system, operated in Valencia by the French company JCDecaux; however, the stages of the proposed workflow are service-independent and can be applied broadly. Cycling has become an increasingly popular mode of transportation, leading to the emergence of BSSs in modern cities. Parallel to this, Smart City solutions have been implemented using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, such as embedded sensors and GPS-based communication systems, which have become essential to everyday life. When public transportation services or bicycle sharing systems are used, real-time information about the services is provided to customers, including vehicle tracking based on GPS technology and the availability of bikes via sensors installed at bike rental stations. The bike stations were examined from two different perspectives: first, their daily usage, and second, the types of facilities located in their surroundings. Based on these two approaches, the overlap between the clustering results was analyzed—specifically, the similarity in how stations could be grouped and the correlation between their usage and locations. To enhance the raw data retrieved from the service provider's official API, the stations were annotated based on OpenStreetMap and Overpass API data. Data visualization was created using Tableau from Salesforce. Based on the results, an agreement of 62% was found between the results of the two different clustering approaches.
