Pub - Public Utility Bicycles? Nope It's Public Use of Bicycles
/p>
Bicycles are not usually thought of as a form of public transport, but the concept has been challenged successfully in the world in the public use of bicycles (pubs). The introduction of the smart card in the pub concept was created on "Smart Honda and the bike path to becoming a city REVOLUTIONARY public transport system in the world. Paper that will explain the publication concept, consider a pub, and talk of current and planned implementation of the Smart Honda.
What is a pub and How Does It Work?
The basic premise of the publication is the concept of sustainable transport. Publication is ideal for urban transport, due to its advantages in other types of public transport, as are the following:
- Provides in transport demand,
- Arrive at destination is not accessible transit
- Requires less than the other mode of transportation infrastructure,
- Is it cheaper to produce and maintain,
- Do not add to congestion, - do not create pollution,
- Reduce the theft of personal bicycles, and
- Provide users with the added benefit of exercise.
Some other mode of transportation offers many or all of these benefits. A pub is a bike that can be used to meet their transportation needs in an environmentally sound manner. One is to use a pub to get to their destination, and then leave the publication at that location for another use. The theory is that a few hundreds or thousands of pubs in the street, there should always be a publication available for use.
Three generations of pubs, with four current generated. To better understand the third and fourth generation of pubs, which is better known as Smart bike, it is important to understand how the concept of pub come. Probably 50 cities around the world in the bars. Most of these programs exist in Europe, including some of North America, and some in Asia. The program is known to the pub under different aliases, such as "the city of bicycles", "free bike" and under a rainbow of colors is painted, "White Bicycles", "Yellow Bikes", "Red Bicycle ", etc..
First generation of pubs
The pub concept started in 1968 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, as a progressive ideology of a period. Cricket Schimmelpennink with the government of the city of Amsterdam launched the "White Honda pub program placement of a small number of pubs in the city.
The bars then distributed throughout the city and always clean and cheap transport. Unfortunately, the program is abused. Pubs are not left on sidewalks, but taken at her home for private use or thrown in many canals of Amsterdam. More than a decade later, a similar program launched in Milan, Italy, with 1,000 pubs, but not when none of the pubs will be returned to the streets after a short period of use.
First generation of pubs
First generation of pubs, like the Dutch program, usually given the massive use of the bicycle market, which is all painted in a color to the output of other bikes. There is no place where pubs must be returned, so one can find a license or being anywhere on the road. The program type of publication often feel free to the user. A group of communities, sometimes with financial support from local government, will help pub program.
In the United States as the summer of 2001, has about 25 of the first generation pub program. American cities in the first generation include pubs Portland, OR; Minneapolis / St Paul, MN, Boulder, CO; Princeton, Quezon City, and others. The first generation of American pubs are a success, however, the bars are stolen big problems. While the first generation of pub program is the least expensive to run because most of the materials and time are donated, is the least reliable for people who want to use a pub because it is confident to find a location. In addition, no built-in security features to prevent the theft of people in the pub. The need for improvements led to the second-generation pub.
Second generation of pubs
Designer of the second generation of pubs learned from their experiences and created a publishing program that is more reliable and less likely stolen. This time, specially designed pubs are made. The bars are designed to be utilitarian and require less maintenance than the previous pub. Including pubs, special racks are designed to bars and are eliminated. The racks are strategically placed at train and bus stops, multi-storey housing complexes, shopping districts, attractions and other places that receive a large volume of foot traffic. The racks took the randomness of the search for a pub.
To ensure the pubs are returned to the racks, a coin-operated locking mechanism is attached to the center of the handlebar. To use a pub, is a refundable deposit insert a coin to unlock the device from the rack. The coin has a large deposit that is sufficient to entice users to return to the publication to another special designed rack and locking that the deposit is returned.
The maximum amount of coins in the country serve as a reservoir for the device, ranging from $ 1 - $ 3, however, for different countries. To ensure a publication that will be readily available for use, is crucial to concentrate the bars within a specified limit. The border with the central business district of the city and near dense neighborhoods. Second generation of pubs are more expensive than their predecessors were, so a nonprofit organization that was created to help the publication from time to time program. In most cases, the local government is to help organizations with funds. Additional funding was provided by advertising, which may appear on the disc wheels in the bar and screen.
The first launch of the second generation of the program published in 1995 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Niels and his father, Wilhelm Christiansen, co-designer of the Danish publication, with the city government of Copenhagen, and the Honda Foundation of the City of Copenhagen published in 1100 placed the entire city. The pub is very popular and quite successful.
Politiken
, A major daily newspaper in Copenhagen, followed by a pub for 12 hours and found only eight minutes not in use. The Danish publication is the longest running pub program is working now.
The second generation of the pubs are more reliable than previous generations. First, because the bikes are specially designed to be more durable and therefore requires less maintenance. Secondly, individuals learned the location of the publication racks, to get a pub became more reliable. However, even with these improvements, the tracking of stolen bars is almost impossible, as theft remains a major problem in Copenhagen and similar programs pub.
