| Description: | The last two decades have exhibited a profound transformation of traditional urban mobility patterns partly due to the exponential growth in both number and popularity of public bicycle sharing systems (BSS). Analysis and visualization of the data generated by BSSs have become of special interest to municipalities to evaluate the effect of their mobility programs and offer integrated urban mobility solutions. In this paper, we present a visualization system that aims to assist city officials from small and medium cities in their decision-making process with an intuitive representation of BSS’ data. It has been developed, tested, and evaluated together with officials and domain experts from the city of Logroño (Spain). Our tool presents usage information with different time granularities (yearly, monthly, weekly, or seasonally), shows traffic flows between stations, and provides an in-depth breakdown of users’ data such as their registered address, traveled distance, or gender-based patterns. Partially supported by project TIN2017-88515-C2-1-R (GEN3DLIVE), from the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, by 839 FEDER (EU) funds. The authors would like to thank Logroño City Hall for providing the access to the data. To Francisco Ridruejo and Jaime Caballero for their invaluable contributions and feedback. To Jordi Masó, from Transports Metropolitans de Girona for providing insights on how they manage the Girocleta system. © 2022 Elsevier.
